I understand. Again, I have to point out the similarities in our prospective therapies. Uncanny really. I definitely know that fear, and that innate loneliness of being the parent, and, even though they did very little for us, the fear of being left by our mothers.

Although it may seem counter-intuitive, the once a week therapy I think is a good idea. It keeps the heavy stuff from being "in your face" all the time and can help solidify the idea that your therapist is always there (even if you can't see him). It also gives your brain plenty of time to incorporate a session and work on it - even though you are doing other things.

It does take a lot of coping skills though, and before you start, I would definitely have a concrete plan, almost a ritual that you can invest in, in place as to how to handle powerful emotions outside of session.

The freedom, acceptance and hope that is associated with telling and healing from all this can be profound.

For me, it was almost like a finally feeling.

I wish peace for you on this journey. It's definitely not a road you have to walk alone. Not anymore.
