I’m tired of therapy

I’m probably on month 8 or 9 and I feel like therapy has made me mean …. Opening up this can of worms of childhood trauma .. I feel like I was perfectly fine coasting and living with my parents .. I knew there were things there but I never opened the can of worms … then it was like boom - therapy .. boom - anger, anger, sadness, I was content for a bit then anger anger anger anger

Then today my therapist said if I’m still living with them I’ll probably never get over it which was a hard pill to swallow and feel like I wasted time in therapy and wish I never started it

I feel defeated

34F - still lives with parents in childhood home.
I’ve been in therapy for about 8 months and today my therapist said moving on from childhood trauma is nearly impossible if I’m stilll living in the same place with the same people it happened.

This left me feeling all emotions .. sad, disappointed, angry… etc

I thought to myself .. well why did I just waste 8 months of therapy and open a can of worms .. should’ve just kept pushing it down ..

Recently, I like to touch

Myself and finish before going out because I feel like I look better and feel better

No it’s not an every day thing .. but if I’m going to the gym in a weekend I’ll touch myself before to feel more confident and just overall feel better
