Have you ever tried any "non-verbal" form of therapy? like art therapy or methods focusing on your body and what you're experiencing in your body? I've found that both approaches helped me to improve in a long-lasting and sustainable way. And much more "gentle" because it is not so much about WHAT I've experienced but how, and to somehow reach a place of "integration", without actually having to "repeat" the trauma experiences over and over again.

Sounds like you are doing a great job with our your therapist
It’s hard but I think if we can manage to resist the attachment cries we can get through this.
I have never tried any non verbal therapy and the more I get to know about it the better it sounds.
One of the girls I trained with is a somatic therapist and I was always fascinated by the way she worked, I was really drawn to how gentle it was.
I would like to try something new but I am afraid to try anything to do with therapy just yet. For now I am sticking with yoga 🧘*♀️
