Freewilled, I have been in therapy almost 2 years now. 6 months is not a long time when you're talking about healing attachment injuries. It does take time, although there are things you can do to speed up the work...journalling, reflecting, posting on places like here. Another thing that helped me was learning about IFS (internal family systems) and writing down dialogues with different parts of myself. Like, when I noticed a part of myself that wanted to shut down emotionally, I would ask it what it was trying to protect me from, etc. The more you can be empathetic towards yourself and curious about why you act and feel how you do, I think the faster you can change.
