Rick, I do think it sounds like your wife is clearing things out.
Have you ever had a joint session with her psychologist? Sorry if this has been mentioned before.
No I wish. She's no way ready to do that, however she is very open with me about what he thinks and his preliminary diagnoses. She's very determined to rebuild her life on her own terms (which I greatly admire) and that may be one of the last barriers she would let down, if we ever get to that point. The dx's I hear about do seem to be spot on given her childhood traumas and resulting habits. BTW, she has decided to stop her anti-anx meds. I think this is her way of taking more control of her life. Hope it works. She has been constantly ill, and I think it's more just the affects of the constant stress.
