Googley, it's so good that you are doing this now after building the bridge between you and your therapist.
At first we did just snippets of trauma work and more calming time. As we progressed we could spend a bit more time with the trauma work and a little less with the calming. Taking into consideration its been over ten years you can see how the shift could be fairly gradual. We did a kind of trauma therapy that actually is pretty non-traumatic, so it was a little easier to recover. But there were sessions that were really harder than others and we always required to go home and sleep and reaaaallly rest.
But like you, lots got worked on during the days and weeks in-between. It's good you reach out here and elsewhere for understanding and comfort. There was a person we used to talk to in-between the early years sessions. It helped to figure stuff out.
I must admit though the therapy session have always been from 1 to 3 hours, (usually 1 1/2 to 2 hours). In the early years it was twice a week and went to once a week and now sometimes once or twice a month but the time to collect everyone and issue together and then work on a specific still seems to be about 2 hours.
Anyways, you are the 'YOU' expert and know what is best for you and just want to congratulate you on seeing it through.
