Yes, I experienced things getting worse before they got better. I liken it to having a pus filled infection - it sort of heals over and seems OK on the surface but there's a deep wound. And we don't really want to touch it understandably because it hurts and cleaning it out is painful but we feel better when we do. It's hard work though and I've tried to duck out of therapy when it's got difficult. Talking to your T is a good idea. My T says you can never go too slow with trauma work but you can go too fast. To be where you are after 6 months seems quite good - it took me a lot longer !
