This is it exactly!

Thank you all for your responses and will reply as soon as I can. I didn't mention that I am 6 months pregnant and have a 3 year old, so my life is a bit hectic these days. I find myself falling asleep as soon as my daughter is tucked in. Sleep....that's a whole different thread....my tiny womb...

I was emotionally void before starting therapy. I learned to shut down my feelings because I was conditioned to do so as a child and as a teen and adult, feeling was dangerous. It meant that I was losing control. I feel like I need to try. I want to cry. I just can't...

I've been going to therapy for 10 months, and I have only cried in therapy once. I cannot seem to allow myself to emotionally connect with my pain/trauma to process it and move forward. I feel like there is something fundamentally wrong with me. My T keeps telling me that I need to figure out...

I've been in therapy about 5 months now, and I have had a great relationship with my T. The last few weeks though, I've been struggling with feeling like there is no point in continuing with therapy bc I'm not where I need to be/feel stuck/not worthy of recovery. My nightmares are worse...

True....I guess in the moment, I didn't think about that. I tried to talk to my therapist about it, and i was too ashamed to do it. I have a second appt on Friday and am going to try to write it all down and talk to her about it....I know I need to explore it, but honestly, I'm terrified to.

Yes, kind of. however, this is the first time it has ever happened to me. thing is that I don't feel aroused, but I'm compulsively acting as though I am. As a teen, I was extremely promiscuous related to trauma...validating my worth in people wanting me but also trying to take control of sex in...

Since my last trauma (a severe incident that I have a hard time talking about), I've had an aversion to sex and touch bc I have flashbacks and dissociate. well, on weds of last week, I got an unexpected phone call from a past abuser. now all of a sudden, I'm back in that hypersexual state I...

I am absolutely terrified of those feelings. I've never really allowed myself to go there and deal with them. I typically dissociate from those feelings...

I do pretty well with regulating myself and staying grounded. She knows my trauma history, and my ptsd symptoms are related to my most recent trauma. Her suggestion is that emdr is.used to treat the most recent trauma. IF it brings up pasr.trauma in a way that is detrimental to me, we will...

I have a long history of abuse with the last one being the reason I started therapy. My T is becoming a LMFT but does have 20 years as a social worker specializing in trauma. That would be the only reason why I would be okay with it.

My "T" is getting certified.in EMDR next month and really thinks it will help me. I'm nervous about trying it, and I guess I'm looking for some feedback about what questionsI should ask to be prepared and how it can help and what your experiences have been or are with it. I'm willing to try...
