Find a way to make some kind of physical limits with it, so you will know that its coming to an end. Or maybe you could see if your therapist knows about any shorter accessible articles you might be able to read.
I'm going to bring this up with him in our next session. He knows about my previous therapy abuse, and that it did take me a long time to trust him. I'm hoping he can help me with this. I have a feeling he can, he already has me doing homework exercises that ground me more in my body and help with distorted body image due to residual anorexia issues - and it's been working.
