Hi Annie,
It's amazing how many parallels we have in our lives.
Our daughter got counseling also at age 9 or 10, I don't remember exactly now, after sufering PTSD from being in a tornado and a very bad relationship with another child. It was too late b4 I realized what was going on. Actually I didn't even realize what was going on, my other daughter brought it to my attention, and I still feel guilty all these 5 or 6 years later. If it had gone on any longer who knows what would have happened, but she's now doing so well, AND she also thinks she'd like to be a T! ; )
My father in law had colon cancer, and then kidney cancer, he also had his kidney removed. That was about 12 years ago, and he's doing so well. Unbelieveable how resilent ppl can be.
My T must be psychodynamic. I've been seeing him only for about 6 weeks now, I think. (I switched after being with another T for 8 weeks. The ex T was CBT, kind of abrasive, and ppl on the boards kept telling me to quit, but I wouldn't listen! ; )) My new T is so very nice, very caring, very accepting. He has said that he believes that past abuses have created a lot of the struggles I have today - a lot of the physical problems too - terrible migraines, etc... He pushed the inner child thing until it started causing me problems, which I talked about on earlier threads. He's since dropped it because of that. I know I have a long way to go, and I'm sure he's not trying to get me out of there in 12 weeks, a year, or any set time table.
I hope your husband was able to put things back together and get another job. I know how difficult that can be for everyone. I'm glad that you have come such a long way and were all able to make so much progress. Feels good doesn't it?
