Welcome to Babble!
First, I want to say that I think you're very brave for being able to open up and get to the core issue--I'm there but still struggling. It's true that nobody else can tell you how long it will take, or why we all seem to suffer so much when we start letting it out.
for me, it comes in bursts--the breakdowns are further apart now when I discuss the hard issues because I've learned better coping skills, and while it's scary how intense they can still be, they don't last as long. It has been a very long process for me, and I hope you're one of the luckier ones who can move faster.
But please, always keep in mind your own safety--inner safety, too. I always want to push forward, but sometimes I'm not careful enough and I push to go beyond what I'm capable of handling, and then I'll have a really big crash. So be careful and don't be in too much of a rush (like I am!).
My T says that we just have to trust ourselves, and our bodies, to go at the right pace.
I wish you the best of luck, and again, welcome
antigua
