Hi, been struggling for nearly 3 years, since i saw a friend get killed, never spoke to anyone, just went to my GP for pills, stayed on them for a couple of years, until i started to feel worse, came off them, got even worse, did eventually convince myself to go & see someone, ive been to him 3 times now & its not going well, last time today, it was terrible, i cant seem to talk without shaking & getting upset, & finding im not making much sense, i seem to get lost back in what happened & when he asks me whats happening i just clam up, & it becomes difficult to even speak, i know its an impossible question, but how long untill it gets easier?, i dont know what to do, i know i have made myself totally isolated over the last few years, & totally protected, i havent allowed anyone in, do i stay with what im safe with, be grateful for what i have, even though it impacts on my life everyday, but i am still alive, or do i persist with my T, im also worried if i carry on i may become dependent on him, can anyone help?..

laura, hi and welcome...
Please give therapy more time, ok? Feeling better is not going to happen quickly, unfortunately. It's painful to speak about these memories, even more painful to lock them inside. It does get better. There are good days, others not so good. At some point the good ones will be more numerous than the bad. Peace, Cap

Hi Laura2 and Welcome,
Im sorry you are going through such pain at the moment - maybe you could ask your T if you could slow things down - let him know that you feel a bit overwhelmed  I isolated myself fromt he world - threw myself into my job - then when I was attacke at work I realised that I could lose that and I would have nothing - its not a pleasant thought. Now I can trust a few people - ok its less than 5 but before it was 0 - therapy has helped me pick up the threads of my life and start putting them in order - I hope it works out for you. As to becoming dependant on your T - I never was dependant on anyone - but you know what? I think of having a T as having a coach - they listen adn let you know if you can do somthing better - and try to help us to change those warpy thoughts that most of us have take care
