In general, I strongly recommend finding a good therapist. It can take a few tries to find one that works for you, so don't give up if it takes awhile.

To your specific questions, I've had some similar experiences and find that it's helpful to think in smaller terms. Find small things that interest you and explore them without threat or promise or waiting. Also follow the RAIN framework with feelings of envy: recognize, accept, investigate, nurture.

I am currently traveling as I take time off and therapists seem to have licenses that restrict them to state lines. I should look into this though. Perhaps staying at one place would help with sticking to a PT at the gym & a good therapist.

If you’re US based, you should know that the pandemic allowed therapists to meet with clients remotely (previously insurance wouldn’t generally allow this). I strongly encourage you to do the work of establishing an on going relationship with a specific therapist.

I had found a good therapist that I was seeing though LyraHealth but she would ask me every time if I was in her state as she wasn't licensed to be in the same state.

I'll see if I can find something remote!

Even if you’re traveling, do you have an address of residence? I imagine that would be adequate. Good luck!
