Nic:

This is tough to answer. I have been in therapy for years. I'm not sure what your goals are regarding your trauma's. I'm not sure how much you can take in a short period of time. With me, personally, it took a long time to process some parts of the therapy outcomes and assimilate them. I still flip back and forth with a few of the outcomes of thought that I have a hard time either accepting or understanding clearly because of the emotions attached to them.

To say that you could fly through and accept everything on blind faith and then assimilate it into your beliefs and consequently behaviors would be flawed. Because in that process, emotions run rampant and hinder progress by slowing it down to manageable bites for your own stability and survival.

Another piece of the puzzle, is finding the right person that will be a good match for you to do the work with. Someone who will have the time in their schedule to see you several times a week for the 8 weeks you are off.

I don't want to sound - NO WAY ... It can't work. I think you definitely can make a lot of head way in the process given the right opportunities for you. All I'm saying is, I don't think you can get to the end of the road in that amount of time.

Stick with your focus, it is going to happen on way or another. Take the time this summer to attack the program What you do today makes room for tomorrow. (Hey, I like that sentance).
