I'm 1.5 years into specialist therapy for trauma and dissociation... I've had many therapist's spanning a 20 year period. Things are progressing with therapy but there are still set backs and I think it's a slow process. T has suggested EMDR for processing traumatic memories without me having...

What @Dark.Green.Feathers wrote is really excellent advice @ladybug111 ... from the outside looking in, it's easy for us to see your situation as just a usual normal interaction that happens between lots of kids.. completely non abusive due to the ages you were and the fact that you were both...

My T is male and although it's hard in many respects I think there are certain things that wouldn't be triggered in the actual therapeutic relationship if t were a woman... I wouldn't feel threatened sexually speaking so would have less chance to work through that.. It really sucks therapy work...

Although it's mortified me i think there are flashes of feeling relief it's been said and he hasn't reacted badly

I applied you for reading out your diary entry to your t.. that takes guts... thank you for your supportive words Yes I think and hope you've hit the nail on the head It's the one of the first times I've been able to say anything and I'm glad I did..I think it was a big step forward and t...

That's what T said too i think... thanks @Movingforward10 ...I hope you're doing OK 😊

Uuhgghhh...I know it's a part of the therapy...T handled it really well and also encouraged me to talk about it.... but still.... There was a definite barrier in therapy today from one of my parts. They were trying to stop T from asking more questions about younger parts and things we'd...

Welcome - fellow dissociative disorder forum mate here (OSDD).. I hope you guys find the forum useful

That does sound scary and sad. I don't think they have gone though which means someone somewhere knows more than you and is managing things but keeping you out. Perhaps you can ask whoever it is to come forward and just share your concerns. Or say you want to hear theirs because there may be...

Duvet... blankets can be itchy.. Swimming in the sea or a river ...

Ohhhhh that's embarrassing..I don't remember writing this and I do actually know the difference between melatonin and ice cream 🤣... really loved your reply though... you're essentially a fountain of knowledge Thank You

I'd be interested to hear about the sensory diet (if the op is too)

You could go and be tested and see what you think. It doesn't change anything either way but may be of interest to you what they say. It may be helpful to learn strategies to help the areas in which you struggle, regardless of diagnosis. Whether you get formally diagnosed or not, this is what...

Definitely fries...skinny fries with spices preferably! Iced latte or normal (hot) latte ...

Would someone mind explaining the difference between melatonin and ice cream to me? Genuine question! I thought they are the same thing... Old.... Colouring pens or coloring pencils?

Honestly one of the best written posts I've read on here!🙏👍🙌👌

I think you can save yourself the questions around was it cocsa or not (although I understand the need to do that - i would) and focus purely on what your body and mind are saying to you now. Mortified, nauseous, guilty, not being able to stop a situation you didn't feel ok in despite saying no...

What you feel is what you feel. It can't be wrong because feelings are our internal gauge and guide. Anger is very healthy in a situation like this. Holding it in for so long can also contribute to the level of feeling. I hope you have good support to work on it to feel better but listen to that...

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on how hard you're trying to help yourself...I hope you have good support...

I saw a gorgeous 2 month old golden lab puppy today

What's the difference? You mean ice cream from Italy versus anywhere else in the world? 🤣

Thank you so much. It really has been a roller coaster. He's been my life line but having to manage parenting when I'm triggered has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. When he was a toddler I was triggered every day and having to have hidden panic attacks and self harm whilst...

Don't be sorry! Not rambly and it's good to hear from others with similar experience Couldn't agree more Not all of me is so good at this. But luckily i am more often than not. These ae actually really good suggestions. It just so happens that the examples you've given are things my younger...

So awesome... If I were a bird I'd like to be one of them...

Such a good video! Really informative...I can't believe I didn't know the road runner is real... it is a very cool species... I was a bit disappointed they didn't show a clip of it running like the one in the cartoon with a wide angled shot!! But its call and beak clattering is very cool ...
