I'm still right in the middle of it all, but for me the key has been going as slow and I need to and not trying to take on too much at once. It I try to push through it too quickly, I get overwhelmed and I can't function (work, home, etc.) I have to take off small bites at a time and deal with it in small pieces so I can "do" therapy and still "do" my life. I keep wanting to push harder and faster to get through it and get it over with, but every time I do that, I end up getting overwhelmed and we have to take a session or two to kind of shore up the resources to tackle things again. If I just trust my T and move at a nice slow, even pace things are much better. Just trust your own gut instincts about how much you can handle and let you T know if it feels like too much. Good luck to you. Sorry you have to go through this at all.
