She has said before how if I felt it was needed, we could have 2 sessions in a week, if she's available. I just, don't know....don't want to bug her or have her feel she has to squeeze me in
When I first spoke to my therapist about this thing that happened in the bar a few weeks ago and not being able to remember anything, I remember saying how I was fine to leave it at that and be better not knowing but now time has moved on, it's not realistic, is it. My friend (the one who I went...
My little ones are back at school now and I don't know if I'm the only one but having them home/ being busy all the time was just the distraction I needed. I wasn't in my head all the time. I'm noticing a bit of a dip but overall, I've been doing OK. Probably due to the fact that I've kind of...
Music is a big thing for me....my therapist knows this too.
I can't always say how I'm feeling etc, so I've had this idea to send her a bunch of relatable lyrics from one of my fave singers (skydxddy - she's a survivor that makes music for survivors and I recommend!) I think it'd be good but at...
Had session with therapist this morning and I mentioned something but after I finished with her, I realised I was wrong. I mentioned something and said it was 3/4 years ago, when actually it was only 1.5 years ago. My perception of time was way off. So I've emailed her to correct myself 🙈 I know...
Relationship but fits here, too.
Hi, I've been with my other half for 10 years and we have 3 children together (they're 6, 7 and 8 years)
I don't really know if I'm going to word this well but I'm finding the relationship difficult....See what he doesn't know is that I've been in therapy for...
I met up with my friend on Friday, she wanted me to go to hospital appt with her. The friend I have wrote about so much already 🫣 We were supposed to go out on the 24th. I've told her I'm not going out now, since the last time we went out, it all went a bit wrong. She got a bit upset, how she...
My depression is getting worse, I know it is. I feel so upset all the time. I told my therapist I was OK at session on Tues, because I felt like I was but it's all gone a bit downhill. I can't explain why. I just keep having these tearful moments to myself and I really wish I could speak to her...
Therapist responded to my email
"Hi Lisa
There's no need to apologise, it's a good question! I can probably explain better on Tues but what it means to me is when you talk about things without the feelings attached. An example would be talking about something really difficult but in a matter...
My therapist said to me this morning that I seemed disconnected. I don't know what she means by this. She has said it before and I don't know why I've never asked. Is this a bad thing? I will ask her too but I won't speak to her now until next Tues
Spoke to my therapist this morning about what may or may not have happened on the sat/sun. She also said it sound like I was spiked. Said I was sounding panicky/scared, which I obviously agree with but also said I sounded disconnected....I don't understand what she meant by this?. I've been to...
I went out last night, with my friend. I remember bits from the start of the night when we went to an event at local cricket club but I don't remember much at all from when we went to a bar. From speaking to my friend this morning, she said she doesn't understand how drunk I was because we'd...
I've been with my other half for 10 years. We've had issues....a few issues but still together. I've recently found out that he's been looking up prostitutes/ escorts in our local area and looking into thai massage places (are all thai massage places dodgy?) I have no other proof that he's...
I don't want my next session to be another heavy one, it can't be. My little ones break up from school on Fri. I hate feeling like I haven't been clear. Although I'm probably overthinking this. I'm going to email her again- I bet she's sick of hearing from me 🙈 We spoke briefly about the ab*se...
originally asked her to delete, without reading it.....but I resent it at 5.30 this morning and I'm glad I did now. She was amazing and let me 100% control it and let me skip the memory stuff that I didn't want to talk about. Feeling a little proud of myself here. I got a bit...
I couldn't read it out. That's what my therapist mentioned when I didn't send anything to her before last session. I think I'm just going to send it all....
I don't know really because I feel like alot went into me writing it up. So maybe i should send but I know how heavy it is and I don't want it to be too hard for therapist to read
I've finished writing up for therapy. It's like a novel 🙈 I didn't think it would be so long but I've shared so much. About a couple of memories I have, the body memory thing, how difficult it is to talk about the ab*se, I don't know if it's too long and I should take bits off and save for...
I've recently gone into bits of childhood stuff, with therapist and I'd like to expand on that with her.
I told my therapist I don't remember the ages the ab*se started. I do remember it it started before I was 13 though....because I remember we moved house before I started high school and it...
I'm finding it hard to pick myself back up the last couple weeks....especially when I'm that person that can usually just shake it off. Even my therapist said I'm the epitome of "keep calm and carry on" and when it was just affecting me, I could deal with that but now I'm getting tearful and...
