Things are coming back to me and I need to deal w/ it and the T/ is still not sure it should be delt w/. So I write what I feel I need to tell her and she reads it. Then we apply it to how I feel in the relationship I am in w/ my H. She helps me deal w/ what comes up and has promised to always be available, but we will not be purposely digging around to dig up stuff, things are just to unstable right now.
I'm glad you wrote about that. It made me feel badly to be told things are so screwed up I can't help you in this area right now. That's screwed up. But now I feel badly for you but feel relief in the fact that I'm not the only one who has issues but can't work on them at the moment.

Sorry to hear you're going through such turmoil. I certainly do understand the idea that you need to have certain resources available in order to handle the resulting emotions that are exposed in therapy. The last time some of my past traumas came to the surface, I ended up in a very dangerous depression, SI'ing for the first time in years, etc. It was awful. I need to have better resources in place.
And with life stability - that's a tough one for me right now since I am a single mom without a full time job - so I'm facing a huge financial crisis...Not exactly the best time to delve into trauma work.
