Yup. Definitely hell. I was constantly cancelling plans with friends and family, and missed a shit ton of work. Couldn't save money.

Bright lights definitely hurt and the sun was more intense in Arizona obviously. We had to have a blackout room for me. Its not bad here and I don't worry about it in the same way
As someone who suffered migraines for 15 years daily, peppermint was more effective than most meds I was given. Didn't matter if it was the oils or teas or candy. Peppermint just helped.
For me though, moving out of Arizona to Oregon was the cure. Not sure if it's a change in pollution, change in barometric pressure or something else, but after 15 years of daily migraines, I moved and went to having maybe 3 a year. Mileage may vary, my sister in law moved away from Seattle to Arizona due to her migraines and hers got better in Arizona.
Yeah if this is all your therapist does file a complaint with the state board.
But a good therapist will engage with you and help you process and let go.
Trauma keeps your past in the present. Your body is responding to an event that is no longer occurring, and is often an unconscious response that you can't just choose to let go of.
A therapist should be using techniques that help your body and your mind to realize that the trauma is not actively occurring so you can get back to normal functioning faster.
A great therapist will also give you the tools you need so that you don't need to keep going back to therapy, except for maybe check ins every couple of years to make sure you're still functioning okay.
Not every therapist clicks with every client and that's okay. Shop around, I guarantee you therapists understand they won't be a perfect fit for everyone and may even help you find a better fit if you tell them what isn't working for you with them.
I didn't get started with it until Persona 5 Royal. You don't need to play them in order, but this one is really polished. Persona 3 remake is also good, but not quite to 5s level. 4 is slightly better than 3 in my opinion. 1 and 2 are vastly different games and can only be played on psx or PSP.
Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations?
Fresh Prince of Bel Aire with Will Smith and James Avery. Not a perfect family, but James plays a wonderful tv dad.
A story about found family overcoming trauma that I love is Fruits Basket, particularly the 3 season remake.
I'm also very partial to Boy Meets World (TOPANGA!!!!)
I didn't need a reason to reread Redwall, but you just gave me one
