OOOh Annabelle life sounds darn painful for you.
When I started therapy it was once a month. I needed therapy to start therapy!!
What you are writing does not sound selfish. It sounds to me like you are hearing your own needs and trying to do something about it. That is not selfish. That is self care. Being responsible. A. Good. Thing.
How about you take one session at a time. Trust takes time to develop. It is ok to tell your story. When you are ready. I am finding now that the number of sessions is not so important as knowing there will be a session. But I know I am in a different place to you.
Is there any way of getting some academic support for yourself??
On days when I am having trouble coping I ring anonoymous help lines and cry. I find that relieves the tension enough for me to function. And write in my book.And I know that will be looked after when I am in session so I don't need to go over it in my head all the time. Well that is the theory. Doesn't always work but I give it a go.
don't forget Babble is here
Take care
