It is so tough processing trauma, but I promise you every little bit I release gives me a tiny bit more relief. There have been times when I am ready to throw in the towel and give up, something in me keeps fighting. I know that I still have a ways to go and sometimes I feel so completely overwhelmed, but I try really hard to believe there will be a time when I am able to consider myself recovered. You are doing the best you can and sharing the collage was a great step. I am proud of you! I imagine you were scared to share it with her - sharing the burden helps lighten the load. You determine the pace and if you need to slow down, let your T know. I'm keeping you in my thoughts!
