..was waking up with anxiety, and having it last all day. The minute I tried to do something, I found I had to keep busy as the moment I stopped I ended up in tears. Everything is so overwhelming and yeah that's about my life. I couldn't do anything all day without tearing up and crying through...

I get we all have our things, but it sound like you’re gettingdefensive and finding excuses. You’re upset with your therapist. Lashing out at everyone else is not going to fix anything

As much as it sucks to hear, you need to do it and see what happens. Avoidance never fixed anything. It simply perpetuates the problem. Your feelings are true and valid. She’s just trying to help you get them out and sort them. She’s never going to do it for you. Another thing, I’d your...

why does the therapist have to help her through her own emotions all the time like that? When is it ever fair for the client to do it on their own? If she did everything for that client in that manner that would be breeding dependancy. Not good.

so I just want you to realize that this IS the process. In this moment, you being angry about all this is you doing the therapies! Good. Be mad. Talk to her. Complain to your husband about it. Whatever you do in this moment is not wrong (unless you stop therapy all together). Stop overanalyzing...

why are you?

lol funny bc a few sessions ago I was also told I was resistant.

you could show up and find out

Same thing as a doctors or therapist office. You go in, tell them about your challenge (obviously nutrition focused), and you work together to help you ensure you are getting the proper nutrition for your needs. They will offer suggestions and education. Say if you’re diabetic and you say you...

So I used to be super into health and wellness pre-trauma, and since physical and PTSD issues prevented me from the gym and changed my whole life, I've gained some weight and have not been able to workout the same since. I'm working on it, but, like you, I was using the number of the scale and...

how did you train for the HR increase? My little girl has learned to be alerted to me taking deep breathes and/or crying. I'm in the process of making her legal, but still training as we go. She's got some quirks to workout, but overall I'm excited to see how she thrives with this

do you feel like you did the right thing today? That's the biggest question. I just came back from the gym where I got off the stepper after 15min of a moderate pace. The last 4-5 minutes I seemed to be very focused on my pain and what caused it, which left me feeling pretty awful (rather than...

Depends on policy in her office. When I was working, it was my job to pick client's up and go do things with them. For other positions I had, there may have been safety issues, insurance coverage concerns and etc. Providing it's within her role as a therapist (which it sounds like it is), then...

or that you need money to be happy and free from abuse

I remember reading a quote somewhere and I have adopted it to explain my view on it perfectly... "Anything less than nurturing is abuse"

lolol okay just a little update on this f*ckery called my life... I had a panic attack today, and the night prior I only slept until 4am, and then wasn't able to sleep until about 1am the following night and had to get up for an appt. at 9am. So, I've been pretty much a wreck. After cleaning...

Yes. One of my nephews absolutely hates the grinch - think's he's creepy and can't even look at a photo of him. I'm thinking of taking him to see it....lolol (joking)

It’s incredibly annoying because I totally employed all of these skills into my daily life prior to the accident, and I guess what I’m getting at with it is that I’m so lost in what else to do because the techniques that my therapist is telling me to practice are the same freaking ones I adopted...

I am really wishing the relaxation stuff (that my therapist insists will eventually work, if I keep practicing) would start working. Anything I try doesn’t seem to relax me the same as it used to. Before, drinking a glass of wine would feel amazing as a stress reliever. Heading to the gym was...

Hate can be applied to the way I feel about everything these days. I feel like everything I do throughout the day I no longer worry if I hurt someone's feelings or what will happen after an interaction (you know, if you're mean then you likely will lose a friend or something). I break things...

OH! that's like DBT stuff. similar to snapping an elastic band on your wrist vs. self harming

You don’t

I’m not asking about your long term plan. Right now you have two choices. 1) try it again with a smaller group 2) insist a change is better for you My main concern with 2, is how many times will they accommodate you if the change isn’t something that works for you. My concern with 1, is if...

I don’t know. What do you want to do?

Depends if I give a shit in the moment or not. Sometimes I share because I feel people should know honest truths. But then I realize some idiots can’t take it and I wish I never told them. Whatever. If they don’t care enough to be kind, then their opinion doesn’t matter
