thanks so much for all your replies. It’s really helpful to hear that others have experienced this kind of thing.
Just an update on where I’m at with it...I’ve been sitting with the fear. And it turns out there’s a lot of different layers to it.
One layer of the fear that has surprised me is...
So, I’ve been in a really good place.
I’m doing work that I love. Slowly building my ‘tribe’ of people who get me. Have a lot of support around me. And overall my symptoms have been very much in check. I guess you could say I’ve reached a point of experiencing some post traumatic growth.
But...
I have been out with the two of them on previous occasions, and there is always this comfortable familiarity between them.
Each time I see it, it does bring up feelings of inadequacy for me because we don’t have that yet - but i try to calm that thought by reminding myself they were together...
About 9 months or so.
Honestly...it’s not. But also who am I to dictate who another person associates with. So I kind of live with it.

I don't even know if this is the right place to post this.
I've had a massive crash out of no where and I feel totally empty.
I don't even feel like I can drag myself out of bed today...but I know I have to...and that thought is sending me into a massive panic.
So Im in a mix of panic and...
I’ve had a kind similar experience with my T in regards to touch. She is trained in Hakomi. It’s a long story of what led to this moment, but she sat next to me with her hand on my stomach where I was experiencing pain, and I had my hand placed over hers. We sat there and I just let go and cried...
I ended up contacting T a couple of days ago. So glad i did. Its not definite yet, but she thinks she may be able to get me in next week.

I'm really struggling, so I'm so glad I contacted...
