Is ACC something you would purchase individually, such as private accident insurance? Or is it a state program that covers all citizens? Here in the U.S., accidents are often covered under the liability portion of one's homeowner's insurance or there may be some coverage under one's health insurance. You can also purchase extra accident insurance from another company if you want. For example, my daughter injured her foot while at someone else's house (stepped on a nail sticking out of a board in their yard and got a nasty slash). Our health insurance would not pay for this but these people's homeowner's insurance covered the medical bills. I have never heard of accident insurance specifically covering sexual abuse. That would probably be covered under one's health insurance policy, for example, under the mental health benefit if one needed therapy.

IrishSJ, hope this isn't too much of a sidetrack to your thread. To answer your original question, yes, I did used to get really worked up before therapy sessions, in the early days of my intense attachment to my T. We have settled into an easier, more comfortable attachment now, and I don't get so worked up anymore. Also, some of the work we did early on was deep, intense, trauma work, and this would have me anticipating/dreading the session for days.

Hang in there. Therapy is hard work and can be painful.
