[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone found something that worked for immense trauma? 3/4 of my family of origin suffered from addiction and died in my childhood/20’s (parents + sibling). I’ve really struggled with talk therapy because [b]there is just not enough time to get through the family history and I haven’t found a therapist that can really even remember the details because there is so much going on in my family of origin. [/b]

I’m 40, happily married since age 30, two wonderful children (elementary school aged), financially stable, have a great group of friends BUT I deal with debilitating general anxiety/low self esteem from the abuse of a parent and the sudden deaths. Is there another kind of therapy or even alternative treatment that would be a good fit for me? I’ve heard of ketamine treatments? Any advice would be appreciated!! [/quote]
Have you considered journaling to see if you can find a way to communicate the necessary information in an organized and concise form?  Writing might help you organize your thoughts or maybe you could even give it as a cheat sheet to a counselor.  Maybe a timeline of the important events?  A list of the important people?  It might also help you prioritize what's bothering you the most and need help processing.  Sometimes it helps to put it in writing.  [/quote]
