I am ok but this really happened. A Lyft driver charged at me and I had to yell . I was at the hotel we were in and he couldn’t find us and was yelling at me to go outside. I had a bad feeling and of course didn’t want to leave valet/registration! So I told him calmly where I was (at the normal...

Thank you! I am ok with bringing things I need and not leaving them there... wondering if I can ask him to put them on the shelf and table, while I am there. I can’t do it myself because I get so shaky when I arrive I can barely walk in and sit down without tripping or panicking. Therapy is...

I want to try slime!!!

Where can I post it? I’m ok but it was scary and happened in real life today.

There isn’t anything there and the random objects he has me look at to try to pay attention to when I get fuzzy minded sometimes make me think of bad things, so I was trying to think of what I can bring to make it better, something to put on the shelves and table to look at and something to...

I have been thinking about bringing something to help with grounding to here and now.

Thank you for sharing that! I like hearing others have had similar things. Was the body scan meditation long? I have told my T that this recording is helping a lot. He said let him know if it changes or if we can add more to it. Or do more with it. I am not sure what else to suggest, but...

I’m not sure, but my therapist made me a voice recording because my mind plays tricks on me and mkes me forget what he says so now I can listen to it to prove to myself that it is what he really thinks or at least said to me. That helps me get grounded. I also use a soft blanket I like.

Thank you, I will check it out!

I’m wanting to try a diary maybe, but I’m afraid of anonymity. Terrified someone who hurt me would find it. Also of someone else finding it and using it against me. I also don’t know where to start. I’m just learning how to try this site and learn more about what is happening with me and...

Thank you! That does all make sense. Just starting out with EMDR and have had to go slowly as I get quickly and easily scared and feel disconnected and “fuzzy.” I am a little scared that there is nothing real there to process and I’m just crazy. Or that I already did process it and I’m just...

Thank you. I appreciate that a lot. And that it’s makes me nervous to talk about too. Thank you as it helps me to know if others see that. I’m not upset and it helps me know if I’m just sensitive as my dad said, which I never know, so hearing different ideas helps me know what can be true. Scary...

Thank you! It just feels very strange and keeps happening at odd times.

I appreciate everyone answering my questions and know I’ve asked a lot. I have one more.. I don’t ever cry. I can’t remember crying for years. I’ve been in therapy since April for stress and anxiety and trauma which was related to a custody battle and an assault, but as we got into it, I...

Thank you. I’m out of town for almost two weeks and I think it’s making it extra difficult. I have therapy twice weekly normally and it will be 2 weeks between when I go. I have the audio to listen to, which helps because my mind plays tricks on me, making me think therapy ended or I can’t go...

I don’t know why I’m not remembering them. I know you didn’t say it IS an abuse of privilege or that I’m bad. It just read that way to me when I read it “seems like a bit of an abuse of privilege.” But it’s ok. I’m planning to talk to him when I see him next to clarify. He has said it’s ok, many...

Thank you. I will talk to him again.

Thank you. I think I need to work harder to believe him. He called and left a message for me to listen to reminding me of some things l keep getting worries about, and that is really helping. I don’t know why I’m so afraid going to upset him and he will stop helping me. Because I told him...

It feels like this.

Definitely not trying to abuse anything. He’s told me he doesn’t mind and that it only takes a few minutes to read. And that if things are coming up and I want to email it’s ok. I don’t expect any response or him to read it before sessions. I feel only worried because I want to be sure I’m not...

Yes they weren’t sent. I remember sending almost all the ones that have been sent. He told me to keep sending emails because a lot is coming up. But I see I’m writing emails in the middle of the night trying to tell him about these things that happened and then not sending them. And there are a...

Does your therapist email with you? I had been sending emails because so much comes up when I’m sleeping, and I knew I wouldn’t tell him if I didn’t email it right then. But then I found all these emails in my drafts folder and don’t recall writing them all. Some I remember writing and feeling...

This sounds like what I am doing! He made me a voice message that I can play when I’m worried about it. It says I can keep coming back to therapy and that it’s ok and that a lot of emotions and dissociating is part of trauma therapy and that he is used to it, etc. I have listened to it every...

No medicine and drugs. I’ve heard others describe it similarly. I have a lot of feelings I don’t understand and tough to explain. I also realize i noticed that sometimes the feeling of watching is reminiscent of something really familiar but far away and a long time ago. That has happened a few...

Lately I keep having this feeling like I’m disconnected from everything and I’m not in control and when I am doing things, I feel like I’m watching it happen through a glass wall and can’t make my own body move but it’s moving. Is that depersonalization?
