What about other things besides talking? I don’t know if you’re on medication or want to be, but that can help with such heavy emotions. A while back your therapist suggested some kind of intensive program. Something like that, but outpatient so you can still work?
Failing that, some kind of physical or mental expression—hitting a punching bag, say—that might provide a different kind of relief?
Things will get better, and I think you have already been getting better in the time you’ve been posting here, but it does take time, and there’s no need to white-knuckle it every step of the way (says the white-knuckling pro).
