I feel exhausted after we do the trauma work, and depressed and have trouble dealing with my normal life.
How about talking to your T about doing therapy where the flood gates come open and everything floods out and then have a plan with what you 2 are going to do with this. Can you see her more often (2 - 3x/wk), can you take some time off from work, can your husband help you cope. You can make plans for this cold turkey approach.

Maybe you are stronger then you think you are?
