I know this post is a bit old, but I wondered if you have had any breakthroughs with your T? I have been with mine for almost 8 months (wow does time fly!). I have just been able to open up enough to get him to agree that I have CPTSD. WE have been working on it for weeks and I do trust him, but I dissociate almost immediately now. It just has gotten worse and I've started resisting his help. However, when I try to trust and take a step out on a limb, it is so rewarding. It doesn't mean I'm telling him everything but trying to respond to at least one severely uncomfortable question.

*Note: it also helps that he allows me to email him in between sessions. I still have those frustrations of not being able to speak in session, but get to share some things that are hard to share in person. At least this way he is aware and I don't have to face him and say it. Can you maybe write your T a letter?

New here. I have been in therapy since April. I found Pete Walker's book, From Surviving to thriving, and it was like someone wrote about me. I've been focusing on the cptsd side for about a month. It's hard. I am recognizing frequent emotional flashbacks with dissociation. I hope to find some encouragement on this site that recovery is possible.
