I hope your son recovers quickly. That’s exactly what it was for me, a bad head cold. I only went to get tested because I was more exhausted than I’ve ever been with just a cold.

As for trauma work, I suppose you’d have to decide how bad it is still affecting you. For me I’m learning that there’s certain things ingrained in me that will not change and picking the ones I’d like to be more comfortable with to deal with. For example, I would like to be able to enjoy my sons baby pictures and even be around other people’s babies/small children without getting panicky and dissociating. Whether emdr would help, I don’t know. But that’s what I’d like to work on. I agree with Christina’s idea of a pro/con list.

As for cutting down on therapy, I support that if that’s what you want, but I can totally understand being worried about telling your therapist. I would be afraid mine would take it as some sort of rejection, when in reality she’d probably be happy that I’ve come far enough to reduce sessions. Maybe your therapist would feel the same?
