Kelly - you might want to stop with what you've written so far, and see how you feel. If it's so upsetting that it starts really affecting your ability to cope with life...time to stop writing for now. Like if you are in school, but the writing is making you unable to do school work, of if you have a job and you can't focus at work. You know? Don't push yourself tooooo hard. When do you see your T again? so you can share what you've done so far?
Dealing with childhood abuse is really really stressful. Please don't put yourself through too much too fast. Do some nice things for yourself too. Spend some time doing things you enjoy to sort of balance out the rough stuff, OK?
Maybe post a list here of the things you enjoy doing, and tell us what you plan to do to stay balanced? That way all us babblers can keep an eye on you! We are a bunch of mother hens, you know!
Please take care of yourself.
Emmy
