I have been with my t for about a year. she let me take 6 months of skirting around the trauma before finally opening up. She lets me approach it in spurts as I choose, otherwise we just talk about what is currently happening, and work on calming methods and things. She was thinking of asking me to work with someone who does DBT for a while, but instead we formed a new plan together, and she got help and ideas from someone who is more experienced with trauma.

Bear in mind that this is a function of my t being very compatible with me and my needs, not because I am doing something particularly right. I have not previously had this kind of success with therapists.
