I just feel like going to Therophy once a week is to much for me to handle. Bringing up all the bad stuff every week,have taken its toll on me mentally.

I feel that if I just take a break from it for awhile,I can get back into it,and learn some helpful tool to recover.

What do you guys think?

I think that is a decision best made by you. I would like you to ask yourself if you would be doing something that is benefiting you or are you separating yourself to allow yourself to go back to bad habits? Are you in a place where you are strong enough to take care of yourself and reach out again if you need to? The reason I ask this is a few years ago I retreated not to regroup but to take obstructions (i.e. therapist who kept me accountable) out of the picture so I could allow myself to be unhealthy. I hope you stay safe either way.

I think that you should go at your own pace cuz only you know how you feel. It took me almost my whole life to find a good t, and ive only been able to afford to see him once so far, but i do feel that im getting stronger. Sometimes the past is just too hard to keep slapping yourself in the face with it constantly. Just make sure you watch yourself carefully, and call your t asap if your mood worsens. I do think you should schedule a follow up maybe a couple monthes down the road though just make sure that you do stay in therapy. Its so easy to stop. But one must face their past to be able to move on for the future. I hope that you escape your past one day and are able to move on. Hang in there!

thanks guys.
The trama I have been through this past summer is the main reason I am seeking help from a T.
I have lost my 2 children,their father took them,after abusing me when I was very ill With ms.

Its a very long story and would rather not get into it again right now.

But every session is based around my children,and it is to hard to have to deal with every week. It is bringing anger out in me,so bad that Im lashing out at my live in boyfriend. I am not one to be angry and anyone who knows the whole story says you have every right to be angry,but that it just not me.
I just wanted to bounce this off of some people that can relate. thank so much guys.

If it is too fresh then allow yourself some cool off time. There is nothing wrong with that. I wish you all the best .

maybe you could take some time to talk about ordinary stresses instead of the hard things every session. give yourself a break emotionally and build the therapy relationship a bit more.

perhaps you can talk to the t. and ask if you can have some varied topics to talk about, I'm sure he/she will understand, and maybe he can allow you to try biweekly sessions instead of weekly. I do hope you get to do this.

Thanks guys.
I ended up having to cancel for todays session tho.
I am in to much pain with the MS. My boyfriend and I leave soon to start the production of the new upcoming tv show. So I may just do a few more sessions until then,but keep it at just normal stresses. AND OMG do I have some normal everyday stresses. LOL.
