I have been considering buying an adult colouring book for a while but just thought I would never have the time to use it. It's great to hear how it has helped you, so I am going to get one for myself and one for my mum right now!

@Ocean5 Thank you for the reassurance. It's virtually impossible to think rationally in the moment, instead I just jumped to the conclusion that I was making a fool of myself. I will definitely l make an effort to talk to the person next to me when I fly home, thanks for the tip! It also may...

Hi there, I'm going through a similar thing right now, I can fully understand how you are feeling. My therapy sessions are now weekly (previously fortnightly) and I have found I am fluctuating in emotion more erratically in between my sessions now. And you are right, it does get worse. I try...

Hi prairiecat, thanks for your kind words. I totally wish I had a flying buddy. I actually tried to imagine people I know sitting in the seat beside me.

Hi, I actually searched for this and your thread came up. I have secretly sucked my thumb my whole life (I'm 23), and it feels so silly to think about. It feels especially silly to say out loud. For me, it feels like the ultimate mental hug, a wave of calm just washes over me and I breathe...

Interior monologue is a definite one for me, but it's almost more like a conversation or an interview with my inner voice. If I'm thinking about something, I will often play out a pretend conversation with someone I know, in my head. I'm sure others do this too.

Hi there, Not exactly, those are more my words than hers. After a few sessions she just said it was clear that I was suffering from some sort of trauma, and that we would focus on it a little more. It was quite a relief at the time. I usually talk to others about my "trauma" (if I feel it's...

Hi everyone, I’m Miffy. I chose the name Miffy because I got a top recently as a gift with Miffy on the front and I really like it. I’m a young woman who has recently been diagnosed with trauma. My therapist and I haven’t specifically talked about PTSD, but from my readings and research it...
