Hello Awakening, I think you need to get to point when just keeping your head above water is not good enough. It seems you want more. I understand what you are saying because I've done that in therapy too in the early stages particularly. From your post you sound like you are unsatisfied with progress though. Is that right? If it is, Bec is totally right. I think you need to start tackling the trauma, either with this therapist or another. Once you start doing that you will really see big changes. Life will become so much more enriched instead of running from one symptom to another.

What's stopping you?
