We HAVE to have someone to talk to who knows what this is all about and has SOME compassion, however small.
If you're not in therapy, please make an appointment. Your medical doctor can help you with that. And if you are in therapy, please open up and tell everything. That's the only way to heal.
I wish you the very best. God bless. Hugs, Lee

Thanks for the note Leed. I am in therapy, now 3x/week and still doesn't seem enough. I just recently started talking this year. I'm a mess after I leave because I rarely show emotion to show someone but I see 2 therapists. One is the supervisor of the other and both are awesome and experienced in trauma. The reason I see a 2nd therapist is she is trained in EMDR. We are trying but it is slow going because stage 1 is safety and stability and I'm having difficulty. I may be joining a skills group soon will find out tomorrow.
Thanks for the sound advice. I don't know what I would do without a place to go and talk. It is my only place and it still feels I'm alone. I've only ever had this therapist (primary) and she is the best. Been with her 3 years and before that I Little Me carried everything alone. Now I have a space with her to share.
Don't see her til Next week and it makes me sad and lonely.
