This is kinda exactly what I realized last night and actually wrote in my trauma diary on here. So I guess that's some sort of...

You're definitely not. It may be due to the different medical systems in our respective parts of the world (so, feel free to ignore...

He has respected this boundary in the past, but it hasn't been tested in a situation where we have been out of contact for a duration of...

@OliveJewel you are right they are trained at holding their boundaries, I think it goes back to not feeling worthy of being allowed that...

Sending an email sounds a great idea. Will help him prepare on how to help you too. Doesn't need to be a long email, what you wrote...

I second sending the email. It will give your T time and space to prepare for your presenting issues.

…UNLESS… If the central issue of my spiral is “simply” not having a TrueNorth in my life to center myself self on? That’s when “the...

I was able to text my previous T but not this one and I am actually glad we have that boundary. I think I abused it at times. Normally...
