I got this from a TikToc video so I had to look up who said it but I have it posted on the wall next to my computer (because I spend most of my day on the computer looking for a job and assorted other things) "Healing is about creating Change You Choose" Michelle Rosenthall

@inthisguise I am not a therapist and I can't speak for your partner but, I am working through CPT with my therapist and have attempted EMDR so I am familiar with both therapy modalities, however with my experience in CPT I am not sure why you think his response is some how related to that...

@penguinuser I am glad that you found it helpful.

I told my T about 6 months after we started meeting that I needed him to stop giving me compliments. That they made me uncomfortable and that when he did it caused me to disassociate and if there was any time left in the session it was pointless because I had no recollection of what he or I...

I know that complaining about the US healthcare system is sort of the standard these days but I am so tired of dealing with my current insurance company I am tired of beating my head against the wall. Between an incompetent pharmacy (part of a major chain) that messes up prescriptions, tells me...

@penguinuser I can't speak for Sheppard Pratt but I did go to River Oaks twice in 2018 early and then later (usually 12 months a part but I had a break in employment and had been released early so it was not the norm) . Granted that was pre-Covid so I can't speak for the changes the pandemic...

Today, my coworker apparently didn't care for how doors work and when she couldn't get through the door to the bedroom where my college son was still sleeping while I was on a zoom call started screaming and pounding on the door demanding that she be let in. I got up and let her in the room...

And I am pretty sure that if I wanted someone to define how I speak about my experiences I would still be living with my abusers who directed and scripted what were the proper terminology and phrases to be used to describe my experiences and feelings. Thank you but no thank you @Widow_of_one...

CPT is Cognitive Processing Therapy. It is a trauma specific therapy I think it started in the Military I have generally only found clinicians that have worked with veterans that generally have training/experience in it. I had one therapist sort of introduce it to me a little over a decade ago...

I am working through "toxic shame" using CPT. The stuck points or cognitive distortions that come with that shame of feeling worthless, ashamed, unloveable, and so much worse and identifying where those thoughts come from, what emotions they bring up and what I can say to myself to reframe...

@Justmehere I am sure that you already know this but the best thing that I can advise is self-care. Take a few minutes for your self during the day when you can/need to, acknowledge to yourself that this is hard and that you are doing the best that you can.

I have never had a cup of coffee in my life (in my 50's). It is actually a silly story but as a kid the only fun thing we had in the summer was to meet the mailman when he would deliver the mail (lived out in the country closest neighbor was 2 miles away) and he would give you a piece of candy...

@Syd.vicious this is something that I am dealing with in therapy currently and it is really hard for me as I know it is for you. I have considered this to be my body's betrayal of me, and I have experienced shame, humiliation and every negative emotion possible. This is not your fault, it is...

@Ellierose2x I have been where you are and I wish I knew the magic words to make everything better, all I can say is that it does get better. a little bit at a time, sometimes it takes help and that is help that we are afraid to ask for, I know it was the hardest thing I ever did but also the...

@Movingforward10 I understand what you are considering and I wish I could do more than tell you I know how you feel and understand. I have three sisters and a surviving brother and while I was at my dad's this summer I told 1 sister about the fact that my deceased brother molested me when we...

Thanks @Muttly it has been a really scary few months opening up about some of the things I have both in therapy and in my other care while learning which providers I can trust and which I need to find replacements for, it is hard when you have established relationships and do everything you can...

Had my first in person post-op check up today with the surgeon today. It was an okay appointment but honestly after the week I have had I started to break down. I told her about how the appointment with my PCP went earlier this week. I explained that he told me that there was no reason that I...

Having a ptsd diagnosis isn't the end of the world like Survivor3 and DharmaGirl said. I was diagnosed over a decade ago, I have struggled don't get me wrong and have had periods of unemployment but with therapy, medications, coping skills and a very small IRL support group and this great group...

@HealingMama my intent is not to control others just me, I need to control my life and where I go and what I can in my life, it is that safety thing, without info I don't know what I don't know and can't "prepare for the worst" This seems like a great way to maybe start looking at it, I know...

@HealingMama I completely understand. I have issues with this as well. It goes back to my needing to be in control to feel safe. If I don't have all the information, I don't feel in control and therefore don't feel safe. I wish I could tell you that I have conquered this issue but I haven't...

Thank's @Teasel she has really been attentive lately, she knows something is not right with me and I think she wants to try and fix it.

@Ellierose2x surgery itself went well. I have had a couple of setbacks, a bad reaction to a medication while in post-op observation, then significant pain 5 days post op that sent me to the ER. I go for next follow up appoint in 5 days and I am not sure what is going to happen next. When I...

Wow this must be dark reveal week. @Skywatcher and @Freida I too told my T this week something that I have talked around in therapy for years and he was actually okay with it and didn't run screaming from the session. I will be honest I don't think he has ever dealt with anything like this...

My friends call her Ghost Cat as she never comes out when anyone is around. But she is all mine.
