Thanks. As for the financial, he is just charging one extra session and throwing in the rest for free. He doesn't charge as much as most in his position; he is also a psychiatrist, but it is the fact that he is an analyst that makes me want to work with him. I was feeling like it wasn't really fair for him to do this hard work for free so I found a way to pay for the extra sessions by selling an iMac that I just replaced. It would cover the cost.

I wish I could do full on psychoanalysis too, but it is way too expensive to do it full time. I do see what a difference it makes to do it so intensively. I feel like last week was a month long with all that I processed.

He only wanted to try this for a month so I'm just expecting that, and even just 3 weeks would probably be enough. So we do now have a 3rd week set up.

As far as the working through process, it's been hard to separate everything out because the flooding involved almost all the traumas and they looped together since they have things in common. During an hypnotic experiment he counted up to my age starting with 1 and asked me to note anything that may have happened. Afterwards I had 30 different things. That's a lot of trauma. We are now working on very early trauma, mostly the lack of early mothering and being hospitalized in a body cast for months. These two are the foundation for the early deadening that looks like depression but may be the result of a dissociation from PTSD.
