    New places make me uneasy

    I joined the gym recently and I've booked a spin class for Thursday...but I didn't think it through 🙈 If it was my old gym that I'd been to before, I'd be fine but because it's a new gym I've never been to/I don't know the layout etc I kinda feel like I need someone to come with me for the first...

    Drawn towards law/crime tv shows…?

    Hi! So i had my first session back and it was OK. She has said that i should be curious about why it is I can read/watch all the horrible things around true crime/drawn to law and order SVU but can't talk about my trauma. I don't know, I guess I've never really thought about it 🤷‍♀️ I this a...

    Last session of year!

    Had my last session of the year this morning! It was OK, nothing big because I won't be speaking to her for 3 weeks now, not feeling good about that but it is what it is and obviously, she deserves the break too...so I'm not bitter or anything! I need to give her a quick email, just to let her...

    Blank in therapy

    Session this morning and it was ok. We spoke about the money on the pillow thing and she did her best to tell me it didn't make me complicit in any of it. She asked a lot of questions, it was hard and I just went so quiet and like my mind felt blank/didn't know what to say and I hate getting...

    This sound ok to send therapist?

    You have spoken about going back to childhood stuff. I think we could try this but I just wanted to say beforehand that things on this issue can be a bit jumbled. I wanted to say this now because you know what I'm like, I think back on things I've said and maybe realise I had said something...

    Something to complement current therapy....maybe?

    I've started with a spiritual coach that offers different workshops. I'm starting the trauma healing/journal therapy one today. She's lovely.

    Taking meds prescribed to friend

    I've been trying to get in at my Drs about my anxiety getting worse and I can't seem to get an appt. My friend has anti anxiety meds (propranolol) and has given me some and they've actually really helped. If I tell my therapist about this, is there any way that my friend will get in trouble? I...
