I know it feels so hard, but you are doing so well. I promise, I promise, I promise. I know what you mean, though, about wanting to take a huge step back and let everything settle down. I do that sometimes because I have to, I have no other choice. My mind/body just can't take anymore sometimes and I either shut down or flee. Consequently, it takes longer to get through these things. I have the most elaborate denial system in the world! I'm a champ at it, but it just drags everything out. If I could have it all laid out in front of me for me to deal w/it, I'd prefer that pain over draining it out slowly...
My T always says we don't go any further than we are able to and we don't tackle something until we are ready, so I choose to believe her.
I think Dinah had many good things to say. You spoke to your T with that girl who was most damaged. You trust him and you're afraid to trust him too. That said, there's nothing wrong with taking a sanity break to remind yourself that you are a functioning adult.
I'm thinking about you. Take care as much as you can,
antigua
