I also got the sense you'd seen multiple helping professionals but was not sure if you had been engaged in long term therapy with any of them, or found any that were a good fit?

Long-term -- yes, the first one. That almost resulted in my deciding that I should kill myself. Others from time to time, but none that helped enough.

I wonder if you've considered Somatic Experiencing, or any other type of therapy where the therapist can help you integrate more mindfulness, more being in the moment, more grounding, more physical attunement into your process.

I have no confidence in any words such as "Somatic Experiencing", CBT, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, whatever -- I find that they simply do not tell you what these people
do in their therapies, what makes the difference between a successful outcome and what does not.

Also, have you considered medication or are you on any?

I have had all kinds of psychoactive medications. None helped more than slightly; some made things worse. I've come to the conclusion that medications are used mostly to suppress symptoms, to avoid dealing with the things that are actually causing the problems. To make the providers feel better short-term, rather than making the patient actually better.
