Length of dx

Wow, this is rough. Our last and current Ts say that healing IS possible, even with the abuse and dissociation starting in infancy. (Coincidentally, we were first diagnosed around '92 also, maybe a year or two before that. Don't recall exactly.) So why did your PDoc write that to your "FP" (whatever that means... Something Physician?)? Now I'm wondering if my Ts really believe I can be healed, or if they say that because they just don't want me to give up hope--which is the understandable response upon hearing that too much damage has occurred to make healing possible. I can't carry on like this. I'm too exhausted. Whether full healing is possible or not, I have no doubt some healing can occur, and things can get easier and more integrated. Some of that occurred in working with my last T. But so much of the time with her was spent undoing damage done by past therapies, then painstakingly slowly building up enough safety and trust to do some real deep work, that we didn't get as far as we wanted before she retired. But we're hopeful that our new T can help us. She seems to know her stuff and has the added benefit of doing a lot of work with helping the body release the stored trauma, as well as the mind. I wonder if you need to find a different therapist, if that's their attitude? Or maybe you could talk with your PDoc and ask for clarification?

I'm glad you posted here, even if MM is eerily quiet and ghost towny these days.....
