It comes to mind after following this thread that I recall causing quite a stir in the field of testing. First they tested, then sub tested, then they asked if I would see some other guy who wanted to test further. He was really quite fascinated because based on my testing I should not be able...

Once a month and it is pure hell. But I value that one spot so I keep at it. Used to be bi-weekly but money ran out and he took it pro-bono. Last january after a vacation he came back, said he thought about it and bi-weekly wasn’t sustainable and I was given no input-just we need to move to...

What’s interesting about it is that if you have a higher than typical IQ, then at some point you begin to self monitor as people indicate that you are a bit off. Too many people jumped ship in my life citing, couldn’t understand me as the reason. This happened frequently. I was certainly treated...

We are here for you. I can relate in that when I need support there is none because all my usual groups are closed down and gone virtual. When I get in flashback mode I have to go do something that I’ve used in the past to pull me out a bit or redirect the thinking. Sometimes I paint or draw and...

I hear you. I wonder what is going on for her in this? She sounds under fire for something outside your control and hers for that matter. There doesn’t seem to be much integrity in saying anything to you about the audit of the company. She seems out of line and if that is out of character for...

It may be that he is reminding you of past people who didn’t care. It is good to explore the idea asking yourself how others in the past made it come across that they did not care and then see if he is unwittingly doing that. I know mine cares even though in my early childhood not that many...

You sound like you realize you are at a crossroads, so which road do you want to explore and could they converge? What I mean by that is if you reduce the number of visits to 2 times a month with a focus goal per month that can carry on to next month if not accomplished then you are becoming...

It’s difficult when there is nothing to replace the core beliefs.sometimes you need a new track playing. If you switch roles and become the therapist to the younger innocent you ask some questions towards the innocent child. What does innocent you know about this topic that deviant step dad...

Can’t think of the Exact book by the meditation guy john Kabat zhan or something and he wrote full catastrophic living. But he worked in pain management then brought meditation into his hospital setting with great results. I can manage a lot more pain from doing some of it. I actually wish I was...

I went through this as well and every step was a victory. But the point for me was to break it down in steps. Go to a meeting meant, victory if I left the house, got in the van went. If I never went in the meeting building I was fine with that week after week, my victories were getting out the...

So true of autism. I have daughter, now 24 with autism who says the most damaging things to me. I wish she never knew about my ptsd as she uses it, like oh look your running away scared of me, or pointing out you have your arms crossed you must be mad. I do leave quickly sometimes from her...

I’m really glad you wrote this. The same or similar experience is happening with us. The lack of being able to do what everyone is used to is bringing up feelings of despair and hopelessness for us but it didn’t occur to me until you wrote it out that some who were used to to doing outside the...

I’ve heard similar from mine, however he does add that he is responsible for him- So when mine is saying something like that it is in our situation a power thing? Meaning I do not have the power to do anything. Is he moved to sadness or happiness by things we talk about, yes, but they come from...

I do not have one, but have a puppy right now that I will personally train. Service dogs in ontario where I live are extremely expensive and you need to fundraise to get one plus go for training. My dog that just passed away was a great breed for tuning in to me and he knew when I was going to...

Mine is doing online, even though they have permission to go back. I’ve not broached the subject though I want to. to him, he feels he is keeping himself and his clients safe. I take it from some things he has said, that online was being used by him before all this and he is comfortable. He did...

I only know from my own experience With lawyer and custody is had to be experienced by myself or witnessed by myself, not third party and reported helped the case. As in did you report to police, child protection is it documented, was there an arrest what did they say. I know it is not the same...

Just went through this June 5th with my beloved dog and the emptiness his loss has created is immense. People will give lots of tips but the turning points on the wheel of grief are highly individualistic, so just do you and call it grief, because it is. Sending comfort out of my own sense of...

I’m glad you shared. There are some great people out there helping us. Mine sent me a voice message today because we cannot met in person friday, yet again and the whole online things is difficult. It was a very kind gesture.

I’m a long termer too and I have complex ptsd. You don’t say how often you see her or if you email in between but start there. I was at every two weeks but then he thought about how much he allows email in between and decided to go to every 4 weeks. It is very difficult. Then the pandemic meant...

Also have a seizure disorder and DID and finally learned to keep medical and psychological diagnosis separate. I have a great neurologist now who did not get my psychology in any of his thoughts and diagnosed me and medicated me properly. Sadly, I avoid hospital, ambulance calls if I have a...

Based on what you’ve detailed here, your t knows you are ignoring her or upset. The tipping point for you may not be crystal clear to her but she would have caught some of it as it transpired. This is a great opportunity for you to keep working it through and move towards, well she said...

I’m struggling too. I’ve done two video therapy sessions and both times signed in, flipped the ipad over so that I can‘t see him, he can’t see me. I feel too spooked. Ipad was my safe device now it feels less safe. No idea even though we are in phase one and he is allowed to open, he has not and...

That’s quite the dilemma. Wondering if you should be honest with private t as a whole lot can get unearthed but potentially resolved with emdr and your support from private t can and should look different during this time. Is there in telling private t the truth a chance she would have to close...

Fantastic thread. I was given four choices. Go to the office because he is still allowed, phone session, video, miss the session. The phone video and missing sessions all terrified me. Video more so than phone. I’m already distraught so trying to navigate video and phone would increase the...

Would really encourage you to take a few things from Truthseekers list and do them. Come back and tell us how it went. I got a lot too from the list. It is a great help to hear from others what they are doing, have done and how they are currently doing. focus too on reassuring yourself that you...
