    When to end therapy, when to talk?

    I’ll try today to organize my thoughts and construct what I want to say. Should I say all my concerns in an email then talk about in person during a closure session? Or should I only be general in my email, expressing just a need to discuss concerns then later talk about things in session?

    When to end therapy, when to talk?

    I tried expressing burnout but I felt I overemphasized the finical issue of having two therapists instead being direct about my feelings towards her. I tried to connect with her since we started together, but I feel like we’re simply not compatible. I only stayed for so long because of a fear of...

    When to end therapy, when to talk?

    I am currently seeing two separate therapists. It was something that I’ve done for a while with therapy and it has helped with stabilization and preventing burnout with a therapist. But I feel I’m at a stage where I no longer need two therapists. However, I feel more growth, rapport, and safe...

    How do you process trauma emotionally in therapy?

    I completely forgot to revisit this topic. When you mentioned developing awareness, do you have questions that I can ask myself? I might be overlooking on the site but I’m not seeing a worksheet or article about this. I wanted to get started on this but I am unsure how to start.

    Is this dissociation or something else?

    Will invisible ritual also fit, where one repeat certain phrases also be similar to what happened? I ask because it was used a self soothing technique. I also want to formulate enough questions as I can to inform my provider when I meet them this upcoming week

    Finding Therapy Pointless Again

    But I have already done these things. I do check ins with my current therapist every so often. I have a second therapist and I feel the same way about not wanting to be in therapy anymore. I do expressive arts of various forms and every other day I do self-guided explorations. I am just tired of...

    Finding Therapy Pointless Again

    I've explored various therapeutic methods and worked with therapists from diverse backgrounds and qualifications, including EMDR, CBT, IFS, Somatic Therapy, Sex Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, DBT, and a bit of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Despite nearly five years of attempting therapy...

    Finding Therapy Pointless Again

    I'm finding myself dreading therapy sessions again. They're starting to feel like additional shifts amidst work, chores, and other obligations, rather than meaningful experiences. It's disheartening to discuss topics I could easily confide in my sister about, only to realize I'm paying for the...

    Is this dissociation or something else?

    That makes sense I have a few appointments lined up with different providers so maybe they’ll be at the very least give possible reasons if not diagnosis to what’s been going on. Thanks

    Is this dissociation or something else?

    Do you know if trauma-induced selective mutism in adults causes the repetitive thoughts that I couldn’t control, the rapid eye movements, or flowing burning feeling I felt in my head?

    Is this dissociation or something else?

    Since there’s not a lot of research on it, would that mean that it is harder to treat? How would this even be targeted? Would it be the same treatment in children as it presents in adults?

    Is this dissociation or something else?

    I’m going to speak to my therapist about it and if she doesn’t do it then go through my insurance. Another question that might be related. Is there any information on trauma-induced selective mutism in adults who go mute when triggers about their trauma is presented/asked?

    Is this dissociation or something else?

    What is a comprehensive clinical evaluation? Would an individual therapist provide this? Or would I need to go somewhere to get this done

    Is this dissociation or something else?

    Do you know if there are tests for this? Or any test to diagnose a specific form of dissociation. In the past I was diagnosed with derealization.
