Oh, that's exactly it! I got my MD when I was 26, married and had a son, and tried SO hard to be normal and healthy in every way. I was terrified that if I let in any memories of neglect and abuse, they would just take over and ruin everything. It took becoming really depressed for me to be willing to really face it.
I will say, for me anyway, there were times in treatment when that really seemed to be happening. But it was temporary- temporarily worse. In the long run (of treatment) it is incredibly better than it would ever have been without therapy.
I hope you have intensive enough therapy to deal with everything in depth, and to allow a real connection with your therapist to develop. I think we need those two things in order to heal. (Daisy and I are two examples of people who go to therapy almost daily- that's a wonderful gift, I know, and not possible for everyone) But at least twice a week is very good.
I just know you will do really well with therapy, and will be so glad you went through it.
