This is your process, not hers ... She's not the one having to live with all the difficult emotions it opens up, you are ... It is okay to put the brakes on before it breaks you ... I have a therapist that allows me to come and go at my pace and comfort ... We're currently on our third extended break ... She "Gets" It ... If yours can't, doesn't or won't, then I'd start looking for one that does ... It's WRONG for anyone to push us to go faster or further than we are ready to proceed ... Where do they get off on rewounding us like this?
Sincerely,
Pfrog!
