One other thing that helped me years back was going on antidepressants. Way back when I was in therapy before, I had a long period of being STOPPED. Just stopped in therapy, not getting anywhere at all.
It felt as though I was in a hallway, and there were doors all around me, but I couldn't make myself open any doors, because I was so frightened of the demons inside. The antidepressants allowed me to open the doors and look at those demons. If you haven't tried medications to augment therapy, it really might be worth a try. For me, it did reduce the anxiety and despair I felt, enough that I could face some of it.
Good luck to you, and I hope that helps.
