Yes I can totally agree on one level. On another level I have been in therapy for three years and let him guide it only to find out he feels inadequate and he never said anything. It has lead to a lot of problems and hurt and I pay out of pocket so I want to be involved in my treatment so I...

Is there any road blocks or bumps in the road that you would be able to give me insight in so as I can avoid them potentially? I mean I know there will be difficult times but anything to make it easier would be helpful. :) Thank you so much for your kind reply @qwyoey! I greatly appreciate it...

@Leighlee87 , Thank you so much for your reply! I believe you are correct. I guess I just didn't know I was ill enough or a severe enough case to need a full team as opposed to one psychologist. I am just scared that it's going to blow up in my face. I'm scared. But hopefully they communicate...

Hello Everyone!! I sincerely hope you are all doing okay and if not that please except hugs from me if you are comfortable with that!! I am sending my love. xx Okay so I have recently been put in to a very strange situation and I can not find much online about how to navigate through this. I...

Awesome! I am happy that I was understanding correctly. I can see how that would be not advisable to confuse myself more based on forcing myself to adopt it as my decision when my brain has made that line and caused me to feel like it wasn't me. I agree, I may approach it in such a manner as...

I like this question and concept. Let me see if I am understanding what you are asking. Basically I could attempt to control some things such as, I don't know... maybe who I have sex with and acknowledge that I made that decision and choice therefor allowing me to take back some control in the...

Thank you both for your replies! :) I do have a fairly big issue with one 'part' of me. I do not feel like she is me at all. And please let me try my best to explain to the best of my ability. I have a part that is named. My abuser when I was little said I was adopted and that my real name...

Hello everyone, I am sending you all positive vibes! I hear a lot of talk about 'parts' and I am trying to better understand. I feel like I have 'parts' of me that are separate from other 'parts'. I also feel like sometimes something triggers me and I will have a 'part' take over or handle the...

Hello, @Mari I am so glad you reached out here also! I am recently back after being away for a long while, but I know that this platform has been critical in helping me. It gives me a good sense that I am not alone, and you aren't either. I am proud of you for reaching out because I know how...

It just feels so different from my normal flasbacks. Usually they are from the past being brought back up. Like the actual past trauma memory recurring in my present. hmmm... I really truly appreciate all of your opinions and insights. It's really helping me to understand better what I am...

Yes @illusionist, that is what it's like for me also! Thank you so much for your reply. I feel like I'm going crazy and it can be scary. :/

Yes @DharmaGirl I would say that 90% of the time I am already awake. Except from the times I mentioned above, where it happens just as I wake up from sleep. Maybe that's not quite awake? ... thank you so much, I would greatly appreciate your review on the book! :)

Thank you for your reply @scout86 I am having a hard time relating it to my flashbacks because it's not an actual memory persay (my flashbacks have words and scenes from the actual trauma. It's not something that replays. It's like he is just standing there out of the corner of my eye although...

Hello Everyone, So I am aware that there are some threads similar to this one, however they are from a couple years ago from what I can see. I may be totally wrong... Its just what I saw while quickly scanning. Im back after a long while away. But I need the support, so I wanted to reach out...

Breath-taking, thank you for sharing.
