I am sorry for your feelings of frustration and the abuse you have suffered. I have never been physically abused, only emotionally. But I can tell you that it has caused me a lifetime of misery, depression, "borderline personality disorder", panic attacks, OCD, suicidal thoughts, outbursts of rage...etc...; and even though most of my maladaptive behavioral patterns have ceased, it's still a struggle every day to remind myself that I am worth the effort of finding the goodness in myself.
5 months is a very short therapy time table....especially for any persons who have been abused. It took me at least 3 years to trust my therapist enough to even think about how I was going to "get better".
I have only recently begun to "change" for the better.
Individual psychotherapy CAN be an extremely long process. I think some therapists and clients will try their best to stick to the time tables, if they have made any; but in the end, it all depends on how quickly your own self-defense mechanisms can be brought down in order to really experience ALL your "issues" or "events" that affect you in the present, and how resilient you are to the emotional distress that comes from sharing personal painful experiences. We're all resilient to some extent. But it depends on when you are ready, not your therapist, to explore everything...literally everything...without experiencing regression to the point of being emotionally tortured the rest of the week when you're not in the therapeutic setting.
As much as I hope your therapy goes much quicker than mine did, I hate to say that the first 5 months for me...even the first year for me, was just the very tip of the iceberg....but everybody's different.
It took my therapist 7 years to CONVINCE ME that I could TRUST HIM...trust him enough to talk about things that i was unable to FULLY experience when I had first started therapy with him 7 years ago.
I feel for you and hope for the best for you and your therapy..it just takes time.
