You make a very good point of having to be ready to deal with the emotion. But how do you get ready when you are hurting so bad? Therapy is very confusing. I've only quit on one thing and that was DBT, it just wasn't the right time for that. May try it again later. I am determined to see this PE therapy through, not that I haven't wanted to quit many times, like that second session. But there's where a good therapist knew how to talk to me and make me see there's progress it's just slow. Just had a couple more sessions, but then she added a few more. She's a tenacious T. She's one of the few that are up for a challenge, who want to know you and makes you believe that. I'm so tired of those T's who say what do you want to talk about today, with me being totally stressed out I don't know and I say that. So then the T would say okay see you at the next appointment in a month or two. And there are a lot of them out there like that. They need to find another profession.
