Kali,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I can't tell you how much encouragement that gave me. I mean that.

I am dealing with a therapist who specializes in abuse and trauma. Its rough but this person is extremely patient and good.

This therapist uses hypnosis and other methods which work for me, but we have had a terrible time establishing trust - and its not because of the therapist - he's really good and really respectful - its me. I can't hold onto trust for anything.

I think we are making slow progress though - and this person refuses to give up on me, which does help.

I think it takes a long time too. But I'm so glad to hear its gotten better for you. Does give me hope.
