That had been my fear too. I asked my T if I wasn't just exacerbating my pain by bringing up painful stuff. It seemed counterintuitive to me to focus on that very stuff that hurt so badly. It made no sense to me.

But I trusted my T enough to keep going even though I was skeptical. And you know what - the healing CAN occur. If the wounds are not brought out to fresh air they're more likely to fester and become more and more toxic.

And like any physical wound, the cleaning up of the injury to allow the healing can be very painful initially.

So, hang in there.
