I'm happy. I've been in therapy for more than 3 months now. It's funny, because even though I'm happy. I'm still dealing with the eating disorder and trauma, etc. But life just gets better from here. I still don't know if I trust my therapist. We started the real trauma work, meaning that I had to relax & go into my head. No such luck! I'm one of those people who get more tense when they're supposed to relax. It's really scary for me. Idk how I'm ever going to go down that hallway...!
I feel like this is the treasure box though. This is where all my anxiety, panic, codependency, eating issues, everything is coming from here. So I've got to unlock it, little by little. I just don't know when I'm going to be ready to do it. I really want to. I know I'm not going to be done therapy any time soon, but it would move a lot faster if I got over this hump. |

Sounds like you are getting ready to take the plunge? (Or at least considering it?)

The hump is like everything else; one step at a time, up and over.

I refer to it as opening Pandora's box... and boy what a sight was in there! It's been 2 years, and there are still things trickling out of the darkness. Everything that comes to light is not discussed at the moment, most are tabled for later discussion. Interesting this whole therapy work is!
Keep digging away, uncovering the treasures, and know that things will likely get messy and hard and painful, but don't give up! Keep working! It's worth it!

My T actually cautions against going too fast in getting over this hump. He says people can easily get overwhelmed and re-traumatized. Just take it step by step. You're doing great!

I was really nervous about doing trauma stuff again last session and I kept having mini panic attacks before it. We didn't end up going through it but I told her how nervous I felt. She reminded me that she never pushes me to do something I don't want to do, unless I tell her to, which is true! I just finished my 14th session though, and now I need to renew them. I have a 2 week break until I restart. I hope I can continue with my T!

Good work telling her that you were nervous! Good luck next time.
