This Thursday I held my first lecture on living with PTSD and dissociation. The group was students at the university training to be psychologists.

I had been very nervous about it for weeks. I was afraid and had a hard time writing and working with my presentation because I was in the middle of processing a new trauma. I managed to get my symptoms in check a week or so before the lecture.

The lecture:

I managed to get the technical part of things working.

I was introduced, I started talking (held the lecture in English), the students asked me good questions.

I asked for a break after talking for 75 minutes and was getting exhausted. I got back, still tired, and continued my talk. I got most of the stuff out that I wanted to say.

I felt pretty calm during the whole time, centred.

One student gave me such a nice compliment: I wish you would get hired and could come and talk to the whole class, you were very structured/pedagogic.

So hurray for me for daring to do the lecture, for doing it so well and for bragging about it here
 
This was the perfect solution to my problem: How do I justify my new scarf and handbag that I just ordered?...
:roflmao: There you go! love and enjoy them and everytime you wear the scarf of use the handbag you remember what a HUGE step you took today.
I'm super happy for you, great job!
 
Good job! :tup::hug::happy:
