Often times chat isn't active. I'm sorry you're feeling ignored. I personally never get on chat much. The quickest way to get responses is by posts.

actually I will probably be in the same situation in two weeks when I see the new T for just my second time. Ive had a lot of flashbacks lately- new ones. One happened at walmart and I literally pushed myself against a wall and sat on the ground until my stepdad yanked me up and pulled me...

I didn't tell my now old T about my rape for like 4 months after I started seeing her. It just got to the point I couldn't hold it in anymore. I had told no one. She was very understanding and compassionate. The day I decided to tell her I told her something like "there is something that I...

I would share your concerns that you would like to make getting better rest your primary goal right now. It's your therapy- not his.

Wow you just started therapy with this therapist and already doing EMDR? I'm sorry but this seems WAY too quick. EMDR is a great therapy but it's also a very intense therapy that requires being stable before starting and having a LOT of coping skills. The thing with EMDR is it activates both...

Not for two weeks unless she has a cancellation and then after that it will be almost 4 weeks due to Christmas and then me going to Colorado but after that it will be weekly.

It went okay?? It hit me hard like I thought it would when I pulled up and saw my old T's car wasn't in its normal spot. My old T wasn't able to update her a lot but she did read through my file. So we hit the basics of my history. She told me of several things she wants to do with me, one...

My issue with her age isn't really about experience. If my old T thinks she has enough experience to help me- I trust that considering my T knows how messed up I am. My concern is a personal issue. It's hard for me to trust people my age because I was bullied a lot through school, mainly...

well it's been two weeks since I saw my old T for the last time. I won't lie, it's been really hard. Especially because I had to go see family for two weeks afterwards which has been very triggering. Whenever things come up I think "I need to tell *C* this" and then I realize I won't see her...

@scout86 im trying to remain optimistic about the new T. My T wouldn't have recommended her if she wasn't good. She knows how messed up I am and that I have trust issues. She also told me that the new T has the intuitiveness gift as well as I call it. They've worked at the same non profit for a...

I'm sorry @Noah that you're dealing with this too. It is incredibly hard. I didn't miss my last T anywhere near as much. Some moments I'm okay. But I'm at my dad's house and even though he's changed a lot- there is still TONS of triggers. So anytime anything good or bad happens- I think "I...

Some moments I feel like it's hitting and then some I'm numb. I keep thinking it's just a break like when she had surgery. I don't think it's going to hit until I see the new T. She loved Kaz (my service dog) and he loved her. She got to see him work when I told her about the flashbacks. The...

I can't say much right now. But she actually asked me for a hug :). It was very healing.

Thank you all. I didn't sleep well last night. It's hard to believe in an hour and a half will be the last time I see her :((

@anthony im definitely not ready yet to be without. This situation came up without warning. She has another therapist lined up for me, but it will be a month before the new one can see me. I try to embrace change and believe everything happens for a reason. I just find this to be the worst...

tomorrow is my last session with my T. I don't think it's really going to hit me until I leave her office and then I'm afraid it's going to hit me VERY hard. It all happened SO quickly. Like only two weeks ago. She'd planned on giving me 6 weeks notice but something came up. I had planned on...

Ok that is all good experience :). I will say that some of the things you mention could be considered as "comfort" not tasks depending on how you use it. I believe that Canada is the same that the dog must be trained to perform specific tasks to help you and in our laws it specifically says...

Hi @Hypothermia2012 . I can weigh in on the benefits and also the cons to having a service dog. In the United States you are allowed to train your own service dog (SD) which is the route I chose. I don't recommend it for everyone because it's a LOT of dedication and I went through 2 other dogs...

so today on my birthday of all days I'm having a neuropsych evaluation done. It's to see how my brain has been affected by my multiple head traumas and also my PTSD. I requested it because I'm so sick and tired of my psychiatrist saying that all my physical health issues is because of my PTSD...

You are fine. Just someone last night kept pushing and telling me to do it which only made matters worse. @scout86 i do agree with you, I do. I definitely think that this is something I need to work through eventually- but I don't think now is the time. Not when much deeper issues are coming...

It's nothing to do with her experience. It's about what I'm comfortable with. I was bullied by peers my own age. And while I think down the road trying to work through that with someone my age might be good, not right now in this stage of healing. I'm willing to meet her, but I am going to...

I get that aspect of it I do and while I think that may be beneficial later on in my healing- I don't think it's the case right now. Even with my current T who I've trusted more than anyone else- there is still stuff down deep that I haven't shared. I just think right now in this stage of...

I am dealing with this now. My therapist is leaving and the T she is referring me to is young I believe. She's working on her license. I also looked up her name on Facebook and if it's the right person she is the EXACT same age, 6 months difference. I don't like this and am freaking out. It's...

Ok I'm freaking out slightly. I just did some searching about the new T my current one wants me to see. If what I found is right which I believe it is then the new T is the EXACT same age as me!! I know for a fact she went to the same school as me because it says on the website. I don't like...

Go ahead! It has seemed to help today. I've wrote 2 pages front and back.
