Congrats on your progress so far :) This stuff is very difficult and it takes a lot of courage to face these things. I believe high empathy has contributed to some of my difficulties. I've tried therapy a few times before without much luck. Recently I've found a therapist who has helped me immensely. We have a good connection, which is very important. She also uses somatic approaches, with I think is more effective for people who need help working with and processing their emotions. It also seems to be better than standard talk therapy when working with trauma. Somatic therapy might be helpful for you :) And make sure you feel comfortable and safe with your therapist.
