Thanks everyone.....

My T told me that he was unsure if the AD are having a negative effect on me...explaining that we need our feelings in order to push us to take action. I told him that I HAVE been taking action! QUICKLY too...And he agreed, so I don't know....

We talked about how I prefer to bury my feelings, and that he feels that the AD helps me do that....

He might be right....but I still don't think that the timing is right....

As far as working through crisis versus the deeper issues....there was a time when we were doing a little of both - because some things were going on that triggered some really painful memories from my childhood - but then the deeper issues had to take a back seat due to my separation, sinking into quite a depression, etc.

My T feels that I am out of crisis now, and he may be right....but I am still concerned that just knowing my divorce will be final in a couple weeks AND doing trauma work will just be too much for me to take on at the same time.

I am not going off the AD.....It's just not a good time. I have enough on my plate.
