I need advice about this issue because it seems to be hard for both me and my therapist to sort through and handle. You don't necessarily need to have had the experience yourself to have something useful to say. I will take in anything because this is a point where I feel stuck.

Years ago I experienced an Ambien induced attack by my partner, which lead to a whole chain of terrible things. We were separated and eventually were able to get back together. He had no memory of the event and nothing like that has occurred since.

However, it was serious and traumatic. I'm taking a course in domestic violence/family violence and figured that I should take up some time in therapy to work on my personal issues especially so things were not triggered during class because I do not want to self-disclose about my experience.

I set aside extra time to do this work, in therapy and outside, but right now I feel stuck. And I think my therapist is a bit stuck too. We worked through some things, reached a point of great relief, but the question is whether to start up again and if so how. Or just take a break and enjoy the release of the old.
