Hello all,
I am new to this site and not sure if this question is in the correct forum but I’ll give it a shot.
I’m a teenager and have been going to therapy for the last few months. Since that time I have discovered some pretty heavy stuff about my childhood. I have pretty much lived in my head for most of my life and really have only intellectualized most of my traumas. However, I have been spending time alone and trying to sit with the reality of my childhood and it seems to help. I feel that when I go to therapy, I can’t be honest with my therapist and just talk over what I have done on my own over the last week. I struggle with trying to process this stuff in a manner where I’m trying to move forward In life and my mind starts being super analytical about the “correct” wat to process trauma (as if there’s a rule book with specific steps). Also, I seem to make some big improvements for a few days every few weeks but them sink back as if my new found chunk of freedom dissolves away. I would like to know who can relate and any advice as well. Thank you guys.
