Okay, what background is helpful: -I have a diagnosis of ADNOS, couple of incidents of capital T trauma, and attachment issues. -I sometimes, in the past, have struggled with some non-real thinking. It's mostly about things controlling me and my direction; it sometimes brings up...

I had some really crappy stuff go on at my last job and was not treated fairly or kindly. I'm doing the exact same job again with a different company. There are often similar situations in which I'm panicking and telling my boss about worried she's gonna flip (because in old work that's what...

Has anyone out here been to a T that mainly used Hakomi Method? Was it helpful? Did slowing down the physical pieces assist you with intrusive memories, body memories, or flashbacks? What was your experience with Hakomi? Anything y'all would like to share would be appreciated.

I'm reflecting today on my inner little kid today and on what I can remember from being a kid. It got me thinking... Most of y'all probably know that there are certain unhealthy coping mechanisms that correlate with different types of trauma, like the high correlation between bulimia and CSA...

I've lived with my roommate for two and a half years. We're similar in a lot of ways, but different enough to be interesting. We've had only minor 'conflicts' things such as who's pan is whose and who should write a check to who on whatever expenses. We recently moved out of our old place (in...

I've been having an overall good day with just a few disturbances this evening and I thought of something that hasn't come up before (and maybe is up now because it came up in my bodywork session this week). Someone in my family, maybe my mom or dad or maybe a grandparent, used to grab-a$$ my...

I'm writing to connect and to vent. I have had the most insane, ungrounded, hectic, panicky week I've had in a long while. My roof has been leaking on and off for 2+ years since I moved to my apartment. On Wednesday of last week, my landlord emailed me to say that they had re-rubberized it...

Can y'all hear out my crazy and help me organize my thoughts? I know I'm not the only one triggered by being cancelled on by a therapist, but being so early in to working with her it makes me question a lot. I recently started with a new therapist. I saw my past one for almost a year and a...

Random Question: Do you have attachment issues and if so, do you find it hard to respond to other people's greetings and/or have trouble receiving enthusiastic greetings? (Maybe in the therapy section as I noticed it in relation to my therapist's greeting?). I started with a new...

Has anyone else ever blocked/dissociated a body part? I receive body work weekly (although currently my practitioner is out of town), and in my last appointment, I lost my right shoulder. She was working on my low back and I told her my shoulder was hurting, and then it literally just...

Y'all I did it! I finally was able to not just walk around it but actually write to my therapist that I worry abt the possibility I experienced csa. Granted it was an email and I probably can't speak abt it. I'm also seriously considering canceling this week and maybe I will. But this is an...

I don't know if this will end up in a different section, but I need to try to get a few things out and I'm failing with writing. I feel totally overwhelmed, exhausted, disorganized, and all of the attachment anxiety/issues. I reached out to my therapist. She has an open call/email between...

My psych will be in a new office starting this week. I've been seeing her for a little over a year; we have a session in the new space on Thursday. So much anxiety for so many reasons, which bothers me because I think for most people this wouldn't be a big deal. I'm considering emailing her...

Does anyone else experience some loss of hearing when they're dissociating/emotionally distressed? I've had two different types: one is a whirring, almost like a fan blowing or white noise that makes the other person sound slightly muted. The other is that my ears will ring and then blank out...

I've been in therapy for almost a year now. For the most part, it's been challenging and helpful. I like my therapist and she knows what she's doing. I have a lot of anxiety, some attachment issues from my alcoholic family, and trauma related to a past abusive relationship. I've done EMDR...

I was sexually assaulted by my ex gf. I am currently in therapy and receiving EMDR. I had a particularly intense EMDR session this week and I'm processing. I'm one of these intellectualizing types, so (like many of ya'll I'm sure) I've read everything on PTSD, survivor's narratives, all...
