[QUOTE="Justmehere, post: 1692657, member: 24240"] This might be good to discuss with the therapist. It's super common for therapy to stir things up for a time, and working with the therapist on the pacing of the work, and how to contain the work, or rather not have it drag out with as big of symptom spikes all week long might help with the root cause of the habit. Book collecting seemed like maybe an escape... Shopping maybe a distraction or bringing a sense of control? Mindfulness might be another way to redirect focus on to something other than trauma. There are tons of great free resources online on how to grow mindfulness skills. [/QUOTE]
