Any input would be appreciated.
My therapist and I figured out the root of my anxiety was when my mom remarried when I was 9. My stepdad was emotionally abusive, it was sort of like walking through a minefield, never knowing what could set him off.
The therapist said that in tests, monkeys that were shocked every five minutes on schedule faired much better than monkeys who were shocked at random (never knew when it was coming). I am the latter, and my therapist said a situation like that is one of the biggest challenges.
Has anyone experienced this type of emotional abuse as a child? What medicine or therapy did you take that helped? Thanks with all my heart, Michael
