I hope the t doesnt get angry? Mine says to me, ive already been hurt enough and need some new patterns to be able to not punish the body . I don’t think he becomes angry, it makes him sad, he did say that once. Anyway, it helped me to hear that I need some new strategies, new patterns and that...

Sounds the same as what my t does, he just doesn’t label it as well as you just did, but from reading this I can see it now that he does this

Virtual hugs to you. It is very difficult and what we in our hometown community are learning is that it is a more common thing to struggle with no matter who you are and where you work. We’ve had three police officers kill themselves in the past three months in Ontario, so the force is strongly...

Once or twice putting both his hands on shoulder and saying so, as well as listen to my voice, feel my hand on your shoulder, I’m right here. But that’s the only physical contact and it’s not long lasting.

Before I began seeing my t, I could not of made a list, however after years of being with the same guy I can say this. He offers what I missed out on and says so. So he will let us know he’s being consistent in his attitudes, meeting times, quality of time etc. He doesn’t change just because I’m...

My girls are in their early 20s now, but they saw stuff earlier in life that meant they needed to know somethings. As they grew the conversations expanded. they don’t know it all, but what is useful for them to know. They for sure know nothing of what I work on in therapy. they know that i go...

I wouldn’t focus too much on it. My psychologist and I do the work together and neither of us talk much if at all about the diagnosis. It can be very upsetting to not be in agreement. If you are aware of parts or alters who come out and talk to the t with or without your knowing then that really...

Totally. I find it very difficult to answer or connect to it as being mine.

You made sense. I get it totally. Been in the same funk for awhile myself. Sometimes for me it’s because the mental anguish is eating up the focus of the way I normally function. It’s demanding the space and energy so not much gets done even though I know I should do it and should care about it...

I know from past experience when he had to fill in the therapy report for criminal injuries he does not openly share it. He writes it and sends it. I have to be on him to get it from him. It’s not that he’s not upfront but I don’t think he knows what it feels like to me to not be involved in...

Yes I was sharing about the ability to message this person Nd he said he wanted to talk to him, like he was eager about that.

Today when i had my appointment it was briefly discussed that I message someone from a support group I attend. he leads the group and helps me quite a bit when having bad flashbacks at home, via messenger. Anyway the psychologist said he would like to talk to him. not even sure if he asked, like...

The body is remembering. In some ways, just by writing it to us you have begun the writing process he suggested so go with it even if you have to rewrite parts of this one to get it down. there are many different writing prompts you could start from such as I can’t stand being in my body when it...

A couple of responses. I’m not aware she does this with anyone else. Her sister is getting married and is no longer living here so towards her yes she will accuse her of not keeping her informed of the wedding. Verbally yes she is able to articulate, however I find it to be really inaccurate...

Complex trauma ptsd, yes domestic violence. Sometimes she reminds me of him in these situations. We both have separate therapy. Her guy does cbt with her but my understanding is they talk about her dad all the time. She would in my assessment have great difficulty telling her therapist...

I think the opposite of going to therapy happens, instead of unraveling and losing yourself , you unravel and find yourself with the support of a good t.

I live with my 22 yr old daughter who also has autism. When she gets premenstrual things get very bad quickly in conversations. She unleashes a lot of talk that triggers me into apology mode, or stammering, or crying, or just total confusion. I have in my google calendar a reminder to get some...

You already have a great list happening so keep following your natural instincts and you will do fine. If you get symptoms know that the photo opps will calm you down as it changes your focus, helps calm.

Can feel how painful this is. I’m at five years with mine and if anything ever happened where we couldn’t work together I’d be adrift too. I too would read emails and long for what was and what now can’t be. It isn’t about time helping as much as its about putting the new way of seeing into just...

I have a physical disability and one medication I take at bedtime makes me very depressed in the morning until almost noon, when it starts to leave the body. It acts on the nervous system as a relaxants because I have spastic muscles, but it also depresses everything else. I’ve done two things...

You stated, he does still work with children. So yes she has to report that he is capable because he did it to you.
