And that makes me feel worse. I don't know if this is making any sense. I feel like I need to just curl up in a ball and hide. it is all too scary and i don't know why. I don't know what to do about all this?
Does this make any sense? Has anyone experienced this? What did you do?

Hey Googley!
***massive hugs***
Doing trauma work is so difficult so please don't feel you should have to rush through it in any way at all. You have to do it in a way that feels safe for you. I bet your therapist is not frustrated at you at all, if shes frustrated at anything it's probably at herself for not being able to help you even more as she probably knows how hard it is for you hun
.
I was just wondering if there is any other way that you feel more comfortable expressing these painful feelings? Perhaps writting them down or through art? maybe even taking paper with you and writing down single words. I often think it would help people to take a doodle sketcher into a session when speaking becomes difficult.
Remember you set the pace and just take your time hun, I know it's scarey
