General Supporter's and sufferers: what happens during the first year of trauma therapy?

[DharmaGirl]

I'm rather late here, but I spent 3 horrible years before I started to get better. My therapist left, I finally found a new one about a year and a half ago, who was really good about not stressing me too much, since I told her I would never allow myself to be that sick again. I don't know if I'll get to the point where I could handle a relationship, since I need time everyday to rest and recharge, alone. Everyone is different though, and there are different levels of seriousness, so each person has their own time table.
