Thank you for telling your story, Ygrec. My T has told me before that sometimes the progress people make in therapy is meteoric. I think this describes your recent experience. I am very happy for you.

There is a strange kind of motivation from being on the bottom. That "what do I have to lose?" attitude can make possible what was not possible when one had more.

Much luck on your continued "unraveling"!
