the line that really stood out to me is "They do not understand what I am holding. "
For me that was the key that helped me "what I was holding"--couldn't let go of........
the secrets and the holding of them was very harmful to me. the tighter i held on, the worse it got.
couldn't say the words
couldn't express them
just held the memories and the feelings...
did get treatment when i got to the end of my rope
so bound by "don't tell..."
Once i finally DID tell, did talk, did open the door
it slowly got better.
what worked was to write a letter to my T
(ripped up a few dozen in the process....)
once she understood and knew she was able to help.
able to listen
able to help work out a plan

Just my thoughts
