Ever been told to take a break from healing?

Has any professional suggested this to you?

I’m 2 years into my CPTSD healing. I’m a 47F and two years ago I had my first ever panic attack. I was certain it was a heart attack.

Since then I’ve survived horrible medication side effects and suicidal ideations. Once it was confirmed that I did have a mental illness and was abused and neglected as a child, I became determined to heal. I take any opportunity I can to tap into my feelings. I watch true crime, which is triggering but it stimulates memories. I have edibles to help me feel my feelings deeper. This also stimulates memories. I feel like my mind is a puzzle and I’m working to make all the pieces fit.

My psychiatrist told me to think about taking a break from healing. But I don’t want to. I want to keep going so I can get past this and enjoy my simple life.

**Update: I want to thank everyone who has given advice, ideas of how to take a break from healing, and overall support with this post. 🙏🏼😘 I’m going to take everyone’s advice and figure out how to do it. I know my doctor will have ideas also. I’ll ask in my next appt.
