    Being Submissive As An Adult After Child Abuse & Management Of Adhd

    'Broken record." Yes, that is the succinct way to put it. :) It's an actual classroom control method taught in education programs, and it's remarkably effective on adults - even adults who've had the same training. The important thing is to repeat it Three Times, politely. Piss of and Die...

    Being Submissive As An Adult After Child Abuse & Management Of Adhd

    For No: 'Cognitive Behavioural Therapy' - maybe not a full program, that's a commitment and a half. But the methods are useful addition to any PTSD toolkit. The Australian 'Moodgym' gets recommendations, but you'll have to tolerate the incredibly patronizing writing...

    Being Submissive As An Adult After Child Abuse & Management Of Adhd

    Sympathies. And you ain't the asshole in that situation. You were trying to cope w/ an abusive person in authority. The invective and loathing would be more appropriately directed at her. Good job getting out of there. For the ADHD: medication. Slow release is easier on the system, more...

    How To Stop Fight Or Flight Response?

    You're not alone in feeling flight response, terrified of exposure/vulnerability. Seconding erigby: write a few things down to bring in. Suggestion: keep it at 4 or lower. Too much and the list becomes an intimidating wall of text. Too few and there's... gonna be something too brittle to...

    How To Stop The Bad Dreams

    Try a websearch for lucid dreaming, or ask T if they can teach it. The idea is to enter sleep with a thought lodged deep enough that it persists into R.E.M. sleep, that either provides comfort or provides an escape (back into wakefulness), Takes practice. I go to sleep walking through a...

    Bipolar Bipolar- how does manic feel for you?

    Bipolar is different for different people. My sibling's bipolar disorder manifests as anger, then deep depression, then back to being manageable. My bipolar disorder bangs the needle back and forth across the gauge, and most of my episodes are 'mixed' - angry/energized, miserable/creative...

    How Does Your T Support You?

    Was going to start a thread, then found this one. Is my T 'supposed' to support me? Am I 'supposed' to want that? Because I don't care. Not interested in 'validation' or having someone 'understand.' Expressions of sympathy won't teach me a skill. Respect me, great. Support? I don't see...

    Bdsm Relationship Vs Therapeutic Relationship

    Had a Master for years. Craved the structure, the simplicity, the honesty. Loved and obeyed. Had BDSM sex partners (after Master). Pretty obvious (now) that whilst I felt 'good' at the time, they were just getting their rocks off w/ an eager subject. Not proud of that. Have a Therapist...
