I used to run away as a kid, and when I was hitting the preteen age got really quiet and withdrawn. my mom had some serious mental health issues so was seeing a psychiatrist. she told him about me but added quiet a bit more to it then just that, so he worked to get a bed ready for me. The next...

It’s a working relationship. It sounds more here as if the relationship isn’t working. If the honesty you wrote here hasn’t landed in the therapy office with an open honest discussion with the t using the same words, I feel condemned and I feel useless then that is a good next session...

I will join you in this struggle. I sometimes move towards my t but then hesitation sets in and I ask him if it is safe to be that close to him in proximity. He says we carry our safety with us. I’m in the what does that mean? Phase and I kinda go well then nowhere is safe. I also don’t like...

At this point if it were me my t would be calling the psych doc to help me out. See if that can happen so it can get fixed at the pharmacy end and you can stay on the dose that does the best for you and doesn’t plunge you so fast into withdrawal.

Love it. Very creative way to get things going for yourself. I’m the opposite in that I rarely sit down and just do nothing. It feels as though I must do or accomplish all day and if a task is left undone or something needs doing then do it. However, if I add it all up I don’t get much done even...

Oh my yes. I can cook, clean and do the household finances but sit down and play? I do not know what happens to me. My kids are grown now, but throughout their childhood I had to find ways to play that I could relate to so that I could at least do that with them and not feel things I didn’t...

I was confused by your title vs your content. I would probably be like you as well and not be able to get it out to the t what the issue was. Sometimes writing it and handing it in is the best course of action as it is already written here. Your T can take it from there and together you can...

Throughout your life there has been little respect, honor, given to the name of people within your family. I also see from what you wrote here that trouble could brew if you didnt know your moms preferred name, hence you sidestepped it. I’ve always had fear anxiety around my name and have done...

Don’t know the answer other than I can only go see mine every two weeks and recently he was away for a whole month, because his partner was sick. I have a long list of go to’s that I’ve cultivated which in the end makes my therapy more well balanced. Like I come on here, I read the cpstd...

I feel for you. You are a passionate writer. You may have compartmentalized here, but really we can only open one compartment at a time otherwise we would get the full weight and not know what to pay attention to.

In response to looking flat, not on medication is likely a habitual mask. Regarding seeing any of my pieces how would I be able to do that?

Wow, you have such a great awareness there of knowing what gets yourself really feeling alive. Danger is the one thing that sparked that feeling in you, perhaps because it was so strong and had an automatic kick in. Sometimes we can encourage or cultivate other avenues that would kick start...

No idea, other than when I asked for records once got the same thing, but I’m in canada. the word redacted comes to mind, but it’s probably the wrong word.

In some circles it would be, who is doing what, since the lost time is typically part of dissociative response to something. I lose time a lot but can ask inside who was out, or just determine what transpired or didnt by what is done or not done. Short gaps are just that, we aren’t present and...

Mine talks about it in a way that is fine. Like the body has a story of it’s own, sometimes in sync with what you are saying sometimes not. I think he has also said the body doesn’t lie. He uses I notice, followed by do you want to talk about that or, did you notice? I have a cough that creeps...

I make my own homework as mine rarely mentions it. I dont even think he uses it

If you have any access to the child, train her. If not ask another to bring her up to date with the body. It may take a bit of time but because the body already knows how to do it the child part can accept it and move in to it but a bit differently. It doesn’t sound like I explained that very...

Not asking for advice was replying to a question.

I called a lawyer who had made this her sole focus of practice. She dealt with people who had been harmed in care of children’s aid Society homes. She specialized in these types of cases and advertised that way. I’m pretty sure I saw her ad, phoned her, followed her lead. Basically, phone...

The lawsuit, had it been able to proceed, would of named all parties involved. the CAS, the foster home and the agency that worked with that foster family.

This was a lawyer who specializes in cases against foster care providers. Foster dad is still alive, parents deceased, so foster dad would of been sued. However since it fell apart, he was only notified by criminal injuries of the claim against him. He was permitted to be at the criminal...

It is difficult for me to recall how this worked, but as I am Canadian, I can only speak for the law here. I did file with a lawyer a number of years ago and the reason it was permitted beyond the statute was it fell under two things, historical abuse and my understanding of it being abuse or...

Think about separating you are sexual to you are loveable. Maybe sit with your partner and draw up a list of the ways you are loveable just on merit of being you. It is a difficult piece of work. But might steer you in the direction of I am loveable, instead of I am not loveable so I must do...

On vacation too. When we do get back together it is dread, dread, dread. But I do not cancel. To me its something of an attachment issue where I do not know what to do with absence.
