"The greatest degree of doubt regarding my diagnosis has come from me. Part of that doubt is because I don't want to recognize the amount of abuse that I experienced."
I couldn't agree more with that statement. My denial knows no limits at times and has really hindered any recovery I might have. As sympathetic as my shrink and therapist has been, I have stopped and restarted therapy so many times I've actually lost count. The simple truth is the more I speak about anything that has to do with my past (and I mean even discussing symptoms like flashbacks or dissociation), the worse I feel. And it's also the reason I go months w/o seeing either of my docs. I have absolutely no clue how to remedy it- I can't spend an hour discussing the weather.
Take care, judy
