I am again seeking therapy for my complex trauma. The trauma has caused other issues I battle daily such as pretty intense dissociation, eating disorder (anorexic), social anxiety and agoraphobia.

I am seeing a new therapist who is aware of all above. We have had 4 appt's all together. Last appt at the end she asked if I wanted to start processing the trauma and to bump up calorie intake some. My concern is this wouldn't that be too soon especially when I have no coping skills under my belt, the dissociation is bad I would be around the corner rather than in her ofc talking about it on how bad I shut down, and the eating disorder is active. I have no support system in place when I know times will get hard once I do start talking about the trauma. I just worry all this could destabilize me even more than I am now. I also worry maybe this therapist isnt trained enough in the trauma - even through most of them claim to be. I just don't want to waste my time or $. Esp being disabled and now SSDI is being cut under this evil new admin there is a pressure for me to get better fast now.

What do ya'll think?
