Hi Judy,
No I wasn't in that hospital. And I am feeling better, thanks.
I am worried about the intensity of the program you are thinking about. I think therapy has to go slowly and it scares me abit how intense that program is and whether you will get overwhelmed.

I think for a while (in my really really humble opinion) that you might need to focus just on controlling the dissociation rather than on memories. Maybe because the director doesn't feel like you have to go through the memories, it really might focus on how to get through this, and not focus on specifics. And then you will be able to focus more on the memories, a bit later in your therapy, outside the program. I'd find out more about the program.
Meanwhile, the dog is such a great idea. If you can be either with the kids or with the dog (or both), maybe you can avoid so many crises.
Terra, did you work on memories right away when you realized your diagnosis? Of course everyone is different as is every therapy.
