Those of you for whom treatment brought out dissociated stuff, repressed memories, periods of blackouts- how long did it take for you to feel better? How bad was the period of feeling worse?

Like, I went in for what looked like psychologically manifested physical pain. Out came all this garbage I had no idea I'd hidden and now I have no physical pain but I am instead a barely-functioning, fragmented shadow of a half-person, which is not an improvement, because while I could work through the physical pain, I can't work when... I can't even keep track of when I work. (Related: socially acceptable: "I'm sorry I can't come in this afternoon, I can't shake this migraine," not acceptable: "i'm sorry I didn't come in yesterday afternoon, I thought it was ten years ago")

When does that stop?
