Rose thank you for the reply. I spent 3 1/2 years with my first T and while she helped me so much in so many ways she didn't 'get it' and the reason being is she's someone who doesn't specialize in trauma.

This new T is amazing and really knows her stuff. It's hard work but I feel like when I go to see her I'm going to learn something about myself on a deeper level to really make changes.

I also learned today that it could take 7 - 14 yrs of therapy to process all of this (not that she thinks it will take me 7 necessarily)..... and the 3 years I've already spent does count towards that

It feels good to know I'm not alone.

PS - what is 'foundation work'
