Keep going or take a break?

I completely understand what you mean, I am in the same position, like you I am tired of raking over old stuff, I sometimes question if my T is right for me too.

I did group therapy for a year and one to one for past 15 mths, it's so draining and it really affects day to day life and my relationships, sometimes I can't tell if the stuff I feel is from present or past.

Maybe take a few weeks off and see how you feel. My T has been away this week so it has given me a bit of a break.

Only you know yourself but if your feeling you need some time out I don't think there is anything wrong with that, we need time to digest what we have learned, and be in the 'real' world a bit.

Hope you find the right decision for you.

I don't need to talk about the SA itself, it's just the way I turned out because of the SA that is my problems--all the ways I learned to cope as a child that I don't need anymore are hard to change.

Gee, I must be the only person who feels it's important to go back through the old stuff.

My issues were so core to my being as well. I spent years trying to understand how my issues were affecting my life and how I could change my current behavior. But I never had any luck in "learning" my way to health. It wasn't until I started working with my current T and going back through all the horrible SA that I've found any true release from my inner pain

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Allie. Merely rehashing our SA can be extremely counter-productive. Healing from abuse goes far beyond exhaustive talking.

Good luck with your plan.
