    Hating Myself For Not Being Able To Say It...

    I can relate to the self blame. My perpetrator was an adult, but I always felt it was my fault...even more so now looking at it with adult eyes.

    Hating Myself For Not Being Able To Say It...

    Thank you all for your kind words and support. Sometimes it just feels like its this toxic thing inside me that I just need to get out in the open. Ive thought about writing it, but I think I need to verbalise it. I need to learn to be patient with myself. I keep expecting to just be able to...

    Does anyone else get this? zoning out when stressed.

    Thank you both for your replies. It makes me feel a bit better that I'm not alone in this. I only brought up 'the wall' with my T last session because I've been too scared to talk about it. She knows I zone out, as sometimes in a hard session it happens, but i'd never discussed what goes on...

    Does anyone else get this? zoning out when stressed.

    I tend to zone out quite a bit if I'm stressed, really tired or just feeling triggered in some way. There are some times where I'm just staring off into nothing, and it almost feels like a wall goes up behind my eyes...but behind the wall its like theres something playing out. The only way I...
