I think WC has given some very good ideas for you. Trauma is something you need to wade into and not jump in with both feet. First you have to find a therapist that you feel comfortable with and can build a therapeutic relationship built on safety and trust.
But also you have to be ready for therapy, ready to commit to the work. Therapist can't fix us but they can listen and teach us tools to help us find our way out. It's not a fast process or a process that always moves forward.
There will be peaks and valleys along the way and that's all part of the healing process. And sometimes that where people get frustrated and quit.
Having a good support system is very valuable in the process to help you through those hard times. Do you have a support system? People you can talk to if you are going through a hard day?
