((((( TracyL )))))

Consider how long did it take for you to end up in the emotional pain you are in? How many years? I have heard that for every hour of trauma, it takes 3 hours of healing. For some of us, that adds up very quickly.

The goal is to find out the roots of the pain and expose them.
Does your T focus on PTSD or trauma healing? It helps to have an expert in the area of suffering. If you are doing everything they tell you to do and you do not feel like you are making progress, it may be time to reach out and try something different.
There are many different styles of therapy.

It only matters if you decide it matters.
I just learned that myself the hard way. My T can not make me want to want to live.
My family can not enjoy life for me.
And in my case, medication only masked the roots further and did not allow me to see them. I had to see them in order to start digging them out.

You can find better... it is just on the other side of "I give a darn - finally."
