Maybe she's trying to give you a little break because she feels you are overwhelmed? Maybe you can find ways on your own to continue the treatment during that time and maybe that will be beneficial?

I'm seeing my therapist this Thursday for the first time since December (I think, I was in a bad place in December so don't remember for sure). Not sure what to do after that though. I'm not sure she can handle CPTSD. I might be cutting her short though so I really want to ask her the question before I decide to try something else. I started seeing her in "crisis mode" when my daughter was hospitalized the first time and the main thing we worked on was finding a way for me to handle my daughter's MI situation. I did have one session with her where I disclosed some of my background, but then things shifted back to my daughter. After she was released from the hospital in November (2nd hospitalization), I only saw my therapist a couple times. I was struggling to get time in at work and my Husband and I were trying to make sure she wasn't left alone for long, so I just didn't have time for appointments. Then January came and I wanted to make sure that I couple pay all my daughters bills. I'm nervous about this appointment. It's going to be hard to concentrate more on my CPTSD, Anxiety and Depression, than it was to talk through my daughter's MI and things I could do to help her move ahead.
