Since becoming aware of my childhood trauma I have become more depressed and anxious. I have been through medication dose changes, weekly therapy, but I have not been able to get away from the root of the problem and that in itself has affected me greatly. I am still trying my best though.

What has helped me is the therapist explaining everything as we walked through it

I have left therapy repeatedly in this time frame over the years. Ty for addressing this.

Indeed you take a deep before you come up to the surface; coming to the surface takes time and effort.

I have been in therapy for 18 years; 15 with a psychiatrist, 3 with a psychoanalyst. Still when my old habits learned through trauma show up, they do it so suddenly that I just don’t have time to react and see what’s actually happening. It is a constant challenge. A constant struggle.

I enjoy your channel; I find it very helpful. Thank you.

I went through a full course of therapy, including required weekly group therapy. I was ultimately released by my therapist to return prn. So very grateful I hung in there💝

A dear friend's son is a therapist and recently lamented to my friend...
'If I don't blow only rainbow smoke during sessions, most clients under 40 quit and don't return. That doesn't pay my bills to stay in business." Sad for so many who desperately need the truth.

Honestly don’t know how to heal from all of this and try to find a job, there’s days where I feel amazing and days where I want to curl up and died but more than anything I want something to change for the better and it feels like nothing ever is. I feel so stuck

Can therapists stop assuming that the person who has abused me has had a traumatic childhood?
When i started talking about my mother, my therapist said.. oh she must of had a bad childhood too 🙄 sigh.
So that's what you take from me sharing? Why does it even matter about her childhood? Im not responsible for that. She was responsible for mine. It's not the same thing. Don't compare her situation to mine. If she did have it super bad, then that makes it much worse that she abused me tbh. She should know better and do better. But she doesn't because she gets pleasure from other people in pain. Why should i care about her? People don't understand how dangerous it is to care about a malignant narcissist. You don't know what you dont know. So dont assume. Not everyone has good intentions.

Wrong therapy for me: CBT! Also every therapist: I do CBT based therapy. 🤦🏼‍♀️

After being gaslit and brainwashed my entire life by my family, wrong therapy for me=CBT.
