There is often a sense of being worse off DURING our healing.. as your T explained... that you don't have all those separated, compartmentalized areas to seal things off.. and YOU are dealing with all of it! How exhausting a change!

Also, when we reach the place where we are able to look at ourselves.. our problems.. square in the face... it can again feel overwhelming.... and NOT feel like "healing." It is. It is a time when we have to rely upon the T and his/her judgment that we have made progress. TC Shalom.
