Ah OK I see. Yeah, I try to process these memories and flashbacks. So that there are no distortions left from them.

It’s curious. I also quitted therapy a couple of years ago. My psychiatrist always tells me that psychotherapy could help me a lot, much more than meds but I’m reluctant to go again.
Last time, I didn’t feel traumatised but I felt a big pressure and I couldn’t go faster. I had a depressed time and I progressed at the beginning but then, I felt I had to go to a different pace. And I felt pressure.

Oh I meant I was going to her for a couple of years. I quit last November.
And yeah I think it can take some time therapist shopping to find one that "gets" you enough. So no pressure like that.
I just haven't really recovered from the experiences yet (trauma centre was in January + this thingy in November). I finally met the social worker as lockdown ended but I was having a hard time going to meet her. After those invalidating emails in winter. But I steeled myself alright and it was okay. But she's not a therapist, there is no way she can give me guidance on these things lol
