I understand that your therapists approach is the one generally used to help deal with past traumas. However, when I was going through all of my past in therapy it began to be compulsive. I found myself going deeper and deeper into illness. My symptoms became worse not better. He told me that he felt it was not good for me to go into my memories or into my feelings, but that I needed to go deeper than that. He wanted me to go into my spirit, the part of me that was buried by emotion and history, but remained clear and strong. This is what heals, I truly feel that this is what is finally helping.

Whatever you can do,
Or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic, in it.
