    Happiness is kinda scary

    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...

    Happiness is kinda scary

    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...

    Is this PTSD brain or am I ok to have feelings about this?

    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...

    Is this PTSD brain or am I ok to have feelings about this?

    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. We have discussed it, and I’ve brought up insecurities I’ve had about it in the past, but at the end of the day, they want to maintain a friendship, so i feel...

    Is this PTSD brain or am I ok to have feelings about this?

    Thanks @somerandomguy Yep, I tried this yesterday, but I think it may have come off a bit argumentative. After she got off the phone to her ex I said “that’s the most I’ve heard you talk and laugh all day” and then went on to explain about the spark I hear in her voice etc. I also said that it...

    Is this PTSD brain or am I ok to have feelings about this?

    So, I’m struggling tonight with all these emotions that I don’t even know where to begin explaining. I guess a mix of anger, sadness, frustration and confusion. My partner and her ex have been quite amicable, despite her ex cheating on her with a mate. They catch up, they talk, text and I’ve...

    Hakomi - anyone have any experience with it?

    My therapist is trained in Hakomi and I’ve found it really helpful. It often amazes me how much comes out with it and how well I seem to be able to process things. It’s kind of like you calm the waters around the tip of the iceberg, and what’s hidden beneath emerges, without you being...

    Done

    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...

    Therapist hugged me!

    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...

    Bringing forward appointment?

    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 guess my lesson to take away from this is to listen to how I feel more closely and trust that feeling. I'm really struggling, so I'm so glad I contacted...
