Hi all,
There is a question which has been on my mind for some time and is somewhat difficult to phrase.
I know some of you are dealing with difficult issues in therapy and are coping with problems such as dissociation and different child parts, etc.
Do you find that it is possible to do this kind of work while dealing with everyday demands of work or school? I know, for instance, that some of you are students. How is it possible to remain functional, retain the ability to concentrate and do all the work, and during the same period access different child parts and repressed issues and emotions?
It has always seemed to me that this would not be possible, since doing this kind of work in therapy results in temporary (or longer) regression, depressed moods, anxiety and other problems. And how does one concentrate on schoolwork at the same time?
On the other hand, taking things "slowly and carefully" simply leaves all the defensive walls as they are.
This is all so confusing for me and I would really like to hear what you all think.Wishing you all strength to deal with whatever difficulties you face,
Whirl.
