I know the "root" of my most my issues: being neglected and then abandoned by emotionally handicapped parents. I still have a ton of work to do in therapy. I'm just now connecting some of the dots as to why certain things happened (indirectly and directly due to the root issue). I'm also learning how to see things from different perspectives, how to cope, to reveal all my parts and their traumas, practice circle living and use wise mind, etc. Plus there are daily issues that come up as just a natural part of life, and there's always building the therapeutic relationship. You can be done whenever you want to be done. You can choose a different treatment or therapist. And you shouldn't have to "bleed out everywhere"! Take things at your pace. Open the wound as slowly or as fast as you feel comfortable with. Therapy is hard and can hurt, AND you don't need to sacrifice your stability for it.
