In my case, it has lessened to the point of almost being gone with time and talking about it and working on my "mother issues". I have gotten to a point in early March where I was able to finally forgive my mom for a lot of stuff from when I was a kid. It was hard-won, this forgiveness, but I got there after a lot of hard work! I am finally finally finally in a place where I am thankful that T is my T, and I would not trade our therapy relationship for anything in the world. So, it took 2 years and 8 months to get here lol it does get better though. It really does!
