I wanted to start off first by saying HI! and by asking this question Im looking for Mainly Opinions to see if maybe I'm missing something. But I shall start with some background information

Im 24 years old, At the age of 4 -10 I experienced serve Sexual and Physical abuse by my father, My mother moved My sister and I across country but when I turned 17 sent me back to live with my father the abuse then started back from 17-21 I do now have a CPO and he has left the state! So Aside from suffering PTSD, Depression and Self harm has all shown up as well.

I have been with this new counseling service for close to 2 years, I am currently on my second therapist (First one left due to school and family) I am Finally getting comfortable with her its taken over a year and I've barely opened up much about my past and dealing with things I always shut down and refuse to speak Now she is being offered a job at a new building under a different doctors and such, I have been given the option to follow her and which I have decided to do so. We will be working on intake paper work which consist of me coming up with goals and things I want to work on, This gets me everytime I always clam up and just shut down. I want to avoid this big time and so I thought I could maybe start writing things down I want to work on dealing with but slowly enough I dont close up. But Im lost, There is so much that once I start to think of something small everything floods and overwhelms me.

What does a person with ptsd work on? Any Ideas on what I can use as a focus point so that I dont get overwhelmed? I know I need to work on Coping skills but thats as far as I can really get....

If you made it this far Thanks I know I wrote half a novel. and all opinions and advice would be great!
