When I worked about 2 decades ago, I had to quit therapy in order to work. The therapy was making it harder for me to work because all that processing of trauma made it harder for me to concentrate, and my emotions were all over the place. It's not like I could keep down a job for very long anyway, so I had to pay the bills before I needed therapy again with another crisis. It was hard to find a way to be in therapy and work - even when I tried scheduling appointments on Friday nights only. Ideally, I tried Friday nights so that I could have the weekend to recover, but then I'd wind up feeling depressed on Monday when I returned to work because I was never truly able to feel like I had weekends anymore. It sucked.

I can see how therapy interferes with work - especially when it's trauma-related therapy.
