It was very hard to read through your post...only because I have similar feelings that arise from working trough my PTSD. Do you feel like your living the past all over when doing your trauma work? I've been told by my therapist that's the point of trauma treatment...well to feel the hurt without numbing it with drugs that is. What I get is hurt, depression and anger. Then I feel like its too much to overcome. It feels that way sometimes. Then I'm reminded of that old saying: got to feel it to heal it...still its tiring.
I was told that other feelings will come in place of the feelings that I experienced when the trauma was going on in my childhood. Like anxiety in place of the confusion I was feeling as a kid. Come to think of it anxiety is confusing don't you think?
