> For some people it takes longer than others to get to the real issues, and learn to deal effectively, but I don't think healing will come until you're ready for it, whether you want it or not. It seems that daisy has said many times something about it having it's own timeline.
I don't understand, how do you know the meds aren't affecting your healing?

> Do you have a therapist that you really like and trust? Maybe once you're off the meds you could do some intensive depth therapy instead of the weekly appts., and then transition into weekly appts. Some therapies have intensives where you get therapy many hours a day, to round the clock in primal. Seems like that would be a bit more therapeutic than falling back on going into the hosp. if things didn't go well, and from what I've read on the boards, the hospitals are not a good place to be.I don't know what you mean by primal. I have been in a 5 day outpatient group program. It was a small group. Sometimes there would only be two people and other times at the most 4 people. Went from 9am to 3 pm. It mainly consisted of cognitive therapy. I was put back on meds. If I brought up memories it just kind of was pushed down by therapists and back to cognitive. Memories were coming up till they put me back on meds. Since I am on a HMO I have to go to their therapists and they use cognitive therapy only.
I will check with my pdoc and see if she kind find me a therapist that will break the rules. Cognitive goes nowhere and I end up feeling like a failure.
Thank you for info. I will check into other options.
