I was hoping you would chime in...how does it feel to "only" go 3x a week? In theory it sounds good, but whenever I try to actually move myself back, I freak out and fall apart. It feels like abandonment, even though it is ME that brings up cutting back! I just can't get a handle on what to do, on what is best. My therapist is very patient, he tells me it takes years sometimes of in and out of this kind of trauma. And we spend weeks working on work issues and husband issues. So my adult self is very present in therapy.
And yet...the younger parts insist on showing up. I essentially told him off last Thursday from a young angry side that felt ignored. And then these horrible stories pour out, with such offensive details. I WANT him to hear it, and I HATE that I want him to hear it.
I really want to know, how did you put things back together after he hurt you? How did you deal with the fact that you hurt him?
Sometimes I wonder what i've gotten myself into doing this analysis.
