Thank you!!

This is sooo exciting!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Thank you everyone for your replies! I haven’t been on cause my daughter has been very sick. First she was not eating and now we think she has an obstruction so we are on our last hope of a super strong laxative tonight before she has to be hospitalized. It’s been stressful and it scares my...

We are supposed to do a trauma timeline in therapy tomorrow to give the parts a chance to tell their story and help them see that we no longer have to live in trauma time. I am really nervous because I take Naltrexone which keeps me from dissociating so I will have to do all the talking for my...

I’m sorry she didn’t believe you and you didn’t get the support you deserve. I think I would have done the same thing you did. It’s very invalidating on your sister’s part to say that you shouldn’t of told her. I can’t stand it when family protects the abuser. So heartbreaking ?

EMDR shifted today and I was kinda relieved. We started out with an image about my grandfather but by the end we were focusing on being angry at my mother for letting it all happen. I don't really ever think about the stuff she did to me. I guess it's easier to pretend it didn't happen. But...

So...yesterday I had tears in my eyes twice. I wouldn’t say that I actually cried but I was surprised that I did have tears. It’s so strange because I know that’s the goal, yet I feel so much shame about it. I’m probably going to have to write it down to share it with my t.

Yesterday’s session was all about emotions. Emotions and blocking them. I can tell they are so close and something in my brain is moving around for sure. But I just couldn’t get past the fear of feeling for the first time. I didn’t feel any grief or sadness but I felt a ton of fear that it...

8-28-19 Feeling some sadness today. Not tearful but I can tell the need to cry is not buried as deep as it used to be. It’s much more right under the surface.

8-27-19 EMDR was different today. It didn’t seem near as hard because we only focused on the new feeling of anger that was starting to surface instead of the abuse. At one point t asked what I noticed and I said “I noticed that I wanted to throw these paddles across the room!” I am not...

It’s a way to invite all your parts to have communication with you. My therapist used some pre-hypnosis techniques to help me be able to go there. If you google Dissociative Table Work I think there are some articles on it that can explain it better than I can. The first time we did it all I...

8-25-19 It’s been a hard day. My daughter started middle school today in a new school district so she didn’t know anybody. She has a social anxiety disorder so it was really hard to watch her get out of the car so terrified but she handled herself well. I’ve been busy with my own classes so I...

My therapist helped me realize I was phobic of my parts when we started doing dissociative table work. I didn’t have good communication but it started to come over time as I started talking to them. I think I talked to them every day for a few weeks before I got a response. It helped to tell...

I haven’t been in your situation but I’ve had to walk away from someone I very much loved. Knowing it was for my own good gave me the strength but it didn’t make it hurt any less. I’m sorry you’re going through that. I’m glad you have found safety away from him even though it’s difficult...

About 3 years ago my therapist that my parts were super attached to decided to hire one of my abusers behind my back. We had talked about the abuse in session on Tuesday and that Friday he informed me that she hired him. I completely flipped out and ended up in the hospital. My parts went...
