Beautifully said Mowtown and I agree about Jane having been amazing about how she has dealt with some big challenges on top of working through her PTSD. I don't see any reason she can't take a break either. I think that working through PTSD is a job all in itself and it can get so therapy sessions are what life becomes all about too. It is quite possible that being told, "ok we are going to dig deeper" can just seem overwhelming as "have things not been hard enough already?".

I feel that Jane needs some "positives" to take place too. I also think that if Jane takes a week or two off so that she can feel a sense of control over her need to have a break too.
Jane, is there any way where you can just take a minni vacation where you don't have "any" demands on you? It doesn't have to be a big deal either, just something where you can step back from everything and maybe walk on a beach, do some window shopping and explore some museum or see a play, something different than "working at you and learning".
