I find it to have been extremely helpful. Everyone is different. For me, I feel it was the only way I would ever open up. It sped up the process of trust and comfort. Now I am to the point where, if I feel low, I could curl up in a ball and cry the entire time I'm there. She usually just talks the whole time, attempting to bring some comfort and hopefulness for the future.
I am really able to show my emotions without any discomfort or hesitation now. I never cry in front of anyone- I hate it.

I think it's to see if I can manage to 'let her in'. I'm not entirely sure what this means  I'm certainly letting her in way more than virtually anyone else on the planet right now. I think this probably has to do with vulnerability * shudder *
I am extremely, extremely grateful to be given the opportunity. I think I'm also keen to do it and meet the challenge (because I think it will be exhausting) because it feels very pro-active. Being an inquisitive sort of person I'm also curious to see how the process evolves in that time.
Can't deny, though - I am afraid. Not blind panic or anything, but afraid nonetheless. I'm scared in case its a disaster  and I can't thaw out more or whatever and then I'm scared in case I actually DO thaw and get smacked over the head with a tsunami of pain that will be witnessed by somebody else and therefore more real, and my abject misery will be seen. *****.
What is intensive therapy like? Long or short term? Is it difficult? |
