thanks so much for all your replies. It’s really helpful to hear that others have experienced this kind of thing. Just an update on where I’m at with it...I’ve been sitting with the fear. And it turns out there’s a lot of different layers to it. One layer of the fear that has surprised me is...

So, I’ve been in a really good place. I’m doing work that I love. Slowly building my ‘tribe’ of people who get me. Have a lot of support around me. And overall my symptoms have been very much in check. I guess you could say I’ve reached a point of experiencing some post traumatic growth. But...

Yes, sorry if I came across short in my previous reply. Just struggling a bit at the moment

@grit - lesson learned hey. I’ll just go with the flow next time.

Thanks @Changing4Best Time to be a lone wolf again.

Thanks @EveHarrington

Just an update on the situation....she broke up with me this morning. Thanks for all your replies ?

I have been out with the two of them on previous occasions, and there is always this comfortable familiarity between them. Each time I see it, it does bring up feelings of inadequacy for me because we don’t have that yet - but i try to calm that thought by reminding myself they were together...

About 9 months or so. Honestly...it’s not. But also who am I to dictate who another person associates with. So I kind of live with it. We have discussed it, and I’ve brought up insecurities I’ve had about it in the past, but at the end of the day, they want to maintain a friendship, so i feel...

Thanks @somerandomguy Yep, I tried this yesterday, but I think it may have come off a bit argumentative. After she got off the phone to her ex I said “that’s the most I’ve heard you talk and laugh all day” and then went on to explain about the spark I hear in her voice etc. I also said that it...

So, I’m struggling tonight with all these emotions that I don’t even know where to begin explaining. I guess a mix of anger, sadness, frustration and confusion. My partner and her ex have been quite amicable, despite her ex cheating on her with a mate. They catch up, they talk, text and I’ve...

My therapist is trained in Hakomi and I’ve found it really helpful. It often amazes me how much comes out with it and how well I seem to be able to process things. It’s kind of like you calm the waters around the tip of the iceberg, and what’s hidden beneath emerges, without you being...

I don't even know if this is the right place to post this. I've had a massive crash out of no where and I feel totally empty. I don't even feel like I can drag myself out of bed today...but I know I have to...and that thought is sending me into a massive panic. So Im in a mix of panic and...

I’ve had a kind similar experience with my T in regards to touch. She is trained in Hakomi. It’s a long story of what led to this moment, but she sat next to me with her hand on my stomach where I was experiencing pain, and I had my hand placed over hers. We sat there and I just let go and cried...

I ended up contacting T a couple of days ago. So glad i did. Its not definite yet, but she thinks she may be able to get me in next week. I guess my lesson to take away from this is to listen to how I feel more closely and trust that feeling. I'm really struggling, so I'm so glad I contacted...

Thank you so much for all your replies...tears are flowing again! I’m going to contact her to get something in for next week. Really not in a great place, and don’t want to risk things escalating.

I'm usually pretty good with resourcing myself and tapping into the coping mechanisms....everything just feels really off though. Home alone tonight too which doesn't help. Will just try to ride it out tonight and see how things are looking tomorrow. I think I panic a bit because I know she...

I saw my T today, and we hit some pretty deep core material that has rattled me. I've spent the afternoon on the couch balling my eyes out, which for someone who doesn't usually cry much is really hard. My head is all over the place with random memories, and its so painful. I have another...

Ive been doing SE & Hakomi, and have noticed some massive changes. I've also had some pretty weird experiences, that have been quite challenging just to let go and allow myself to flow with them, but the end result of those experiences have been some pretty huge steps forward. One example was...

Ugh, this seems to have really screwed with me a bit. I keep going back to how it felt coming out of the anaesthetic and am on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster at the mo. Have to say, I'm counting the days to my next T appointment! @Congruency I hope everything goes ok for you. Lots of...

Oh goodness @419can.dance ! I feel for you. That must have been horrible. I feel strange today. My head keeps going back to when I came out of the anaesthetic. I keep wanting to cry, and the anxiety is through the roof. I feel so silly about this. It wasn't even a massive procedure or anything.

Thanks @She Cat & @EveHarrington To top things off as well, I've just gotten into a new relationship, which has been a massive step for me. Kind of feel like damaged goods at the moment. Onwards and upwards from here though I guess.

I have no idea where to post this. Its been a rough couple of days. Ended up in hospital with a gyno issue that I ignored for ages because I didn't want anyone looking at it...bad move. Got to the point over the last few days where I had no choice. I feel gross. When I was coming out of the...

I've recently noticed that when I'm starting to get overwhelmed I crack my knuckles...and I seem to do it in a particular order. Its kinda weird.

I guess the only thing I do know (and may ever know) for sure about these is how they make me feel. Its just trying to figure out how to live with those feelings. .
