Peaches- I am so sorry for coming back so late to this thread. I am reading through slowly, so sorry if its all been said and here I am, saying it again....I relate to so much of what you are going through and how you describe yourself in therapy. Either shut down and unable to access, or as if a dam has opened and a flood of emotions comes pouring out of you. And I relate to your therapist not knowing what to do.
So often I feel like an unsolvable puzzle. And it is a very hopeless feeling.

That is how I feel. That there are so many issues, some more day-to-day, some deep and seemingly unreachable. But I have to find them and work on them because it seems to me that when I do, I will feel more free and have more peace. But no matter how long I am in therapy, I also feel like I cant complete anything. Work on this here and work on that there and one issue leads to another and it seems like endless work and trying and trying and trying and wondering how many times I can get sidetracked. Is there ever an end?
