So, I have autism and am on the higher functioning end of the spectrum alongside having PTSD. I'm with a T now who can do EMDR. I'm kinda nervous, and I was wondering if anyone who has autism has also had EMDR and what they could tell me. Or if @anthony knows anything about it being a good...

Move to the US, get a custodial/filing/easy mind-numbing job, and get a T with a sliding fee scale?

I feel you...I am missing my T more than ever before, even though it's been almost 7 months. My brother was in a car accident and there's so much in my life with the holidays and all--and I don't feel safe talking about all that with the new T. So I feel your pain.

how did it go?

Go to therapy...you need the support, and I pray that your T can see the hurting you instead of the warrior you. *hugs*

My T shook my hand on the first session...then there was a sad miscommunication about hugs wherein I thought he would, and he wouldn't until the last session. Anyway, since I couldn't get hugs, I would stop at the door with him if it'd been a particularly rough emotional session and ask for a...

My T will always be my T. even if I don't see him.

oh no worries!

you were in a cult? I so rarely meet ppl raised in cults. I listen to them whenever I need to. I love Numb, In the End, the New Divide, and What I've done.

I think that is amazing that your T is willing to do that. I would gladly take that kind of support if offered.

I'm so sorry. My last day with my T was on May 22nd. It didn't start hitting me until after summer was over...like really hitting me...because we'd gone 12/14 weeks without therapy before, and when it hit 15, 16, 17 weeks....that's when it came crashing in even more. It's really hard, even...

I love Linkin Park! The song "Numb" was what I listened to most when I was still stuck inside the cult as an angry, lost teenager.

I'm currently with a T who is only 2 months younger than me, and it definitely shows. He's very kind and has been helpful with some things, but I'm finding that there's a definite lack of life experience that makes it near impossible for me to trust in the way I trusted my amazing previous T...

please keep as is.

Maybe stuff like: What hurt you most at various ages? What was the best things that happened at those ages? If you picked an object or an animal to represent yourself, what would it be and why? What do you most want from people in general? Are there specific people you want different things...

The ethical guidelines in the states aren't actually that rigid. They don't specifically address gifts, but usually people do the $5 rule--if it costs less than $5, then it is probably okay.

what about taking a pad of drawing paper and drawing whatever comes to mind? And maybe saying beforehand that you might not want to talk about what you draw, but just that you want to draw?

thank you everyone. It helps to know I'm not going crazy at least!

I moved to Indianapolis 3 weeks ago from Wisconsin. Since I've been here, I've had increased symptoms, realizations, and memories from the earliest trauma. I was not expecting this since I thought I had mostly resolved it and that a change in location would be good for me. But now I'm wondering...

Wow! How were you even able to do that? I thought only teachers and public servants could get rid of them after 10 years of making payments!

This is absolutely unethical behavior. If you are able, or if your friend might be able to help, I'd encourage you to find out if your T is a member of APA since you're in the US. Link Removed The principles apply here too: Beneficence and Nonmaleficence and Fidelity and Responsibility. These...

Hey people! I'm visiting Indy this weekend. I don't know if any of you are from around there or lived there in the past, but if you do or have, I'd love to hear places/things to do that you'd advise I not miss out on. Thanks! :)

thanks for all the comments. I appreciate them.

I'm leaving my T because he works at the university and I'm leaving there. I wish he'd been a private practice T that I could have seen weekly, but that was never possible. He's been really good to me, though we've definitely had our struggles. @Pencil , yeah....maybe. I've got a strong...

So...May 22nd is the date for the final session of my work with my T. We have one session on May 15th and then the last on the 22nd. I'm so nervous. Today we spent a lot of time remembering what we've done, been through, and talked about. I'm going to miss him so much. It's been 4 and a half...
