Nothing can be done, but the whole assignments thing is an interesting idea... I may discuss this option. Thank you very much.

My healthcare pays 100% for me but they won't pay for two different therapists, if that makes sense. Only one, and that one should be able to treat me as I need. Oh, I can understand that. For me, I've always been going to therapy 2-3 times per week, so now, I'm kind of unsure of what to do. Is...

I can stay with her once per week or find another therapist who can see me either 2 times per week or more, when needed. Cons of moving on: I built a great bond with my current therapist. Possible Pros: Maybe I'll find another therapist who can see me as much as I need and gradually get better.

Hi guys, As you may remember, last time I posted how my therapist's clinic only allows clients to come in once per week because "some healthcare providers promise to pay for more than once per week but don't." Anyway, I mentioned how she was the best therapist I've had, however, since I...

You are a god! Haha, just kidding. Thank you for this amazing answer, it has given me a lot of perspective! Thank you ALL, but thank you especially to @Friday. A really, really, really thought provoking answer. A good way of being able to think.

I used to see my therapist twice a week but her clinic now only allows anyone to see their T. once a week because some healthcare providers ended up not paying the clinic. So I'm lost. Twice a week was vital to my recovery and I've only ever done twice a week in more than just this clinic. The...

Very few therapists I know have actually used this technique, but a student intern I once worked with used it and I don't know why, but I found it beneficial. Her: You need to say your trauma out loud. _______ happened to me, but ________ because ________. My current therapist has never used...

I'm so sorry to hear what a rough few weeks you've been having. I'm so glad you didn't end up doing what you intended that night. :hug: For the record, your therapist sounds like a jerk. I've told my therapist about things similar to this and she said "If you ever feel like that, I want you to...

Oh, okay, so I'm not completely alone, that's nice to know. Yeah, as I was reading your response there was this gut feeling that came up as a way of making me realize in a different manner, I'm doing the same thing. The only horrible thing about this is that I feel good and have felt nice and...

I'm saying I've been talking about my whole story in therapy and have now, no recollection of this story. I know it's something bad based on my journal entries and I keep my mind busy so that I don't remember because it's such memory this time it's not like it's forgotten in the back of my mind...

I understand that suppressed memories are common but how does it work if for months, you knew your whole story and wrote about it, and then one day, or days later, you realize you forgot, other than small hints of this depressed feeling of something I'm supposed to remember surfaced? Is that...

I see my T twice a week and she's on vaca. I keep a daily journal and just in the last few days I've been reading and referencing things I no longer remember. What do I do? I have my EMDR consultation session this week. I don't want to remember my trauma, look back into older entries or tell my...

I feel the exact same way! PTSD can be one of the most debilitating things to live with, because it's pretty much an invisible illness for lots of people. Not for everyone, but for a lot of people. It must be difficult not knowing how to explain your childhood to people, I'm sorry. Well, it must...

Hi, there and welcome! To start off, I'm really sorry that you were emotionally and verbally abused by your mother -- someone who was supposed to love you, protect you and nurture you. It would make sense that you would be diagnosed with PTSD. It's funny, because I asked my psychiatrist about...

There's lots of helpfulness in your response. Thanks so much for your post. Can I ask... why is DID and groups for such ill-advised? Is there a reason for it? I would agree, but I'm just wondering if there are examples of why so I could better understand. My T does know I have it but still...
