catlady,
Yes. Painful and demoralizing as it may be, my understanding is that non-linear is the model for recovery from trauma. I am experiencing this myself this week. I'm sorry you are too.
Someone here recommended a book--Trauma and Recovery by Judith Herman (I believe). I'm working my way through it, and she talks about the recovery process in detail. Just a thought, if you find reading an helpful adjunct to therapy.
the very best to you in your recovery--and hang in there!
