Hi antigua,
That's a good point that you mention of pushing ourselves. I tend to go into the therapy sessions with the objective that I have to fix myself as fast as possible. That I am there for that purpose, so let's get on with it. lol. What happens though is that as you address one issue more things come up, etc. and so, yes, there is a kind of pacing that goes on even if you want to go faster. It seems of late though I am feeling more angry with myself for letting myself constantly being open and feeling weak from that, that I have a sense to want to get to the core issue. In the past year, we've dealt with a lot of the abuse issues from the homes I lived in and yes, I am seeing (and I think the therapist too) what my core issue is and am getting right at it, and its the hardest and most potentially destructive emotionally and mentally part. After 37 years and a mental breakdown 14th months ago of being affected (I see now how much so), I just want this 'problem' to end and get on with my life and plans which it seems I can't do in my current state. It does take time. My therapist is good in not letting me get too ahead of myself but it's been hard-going sometimes, doing this and working and being a mom. So I can relate to many here in those respects as well.
Thanks for the welcome.
