I'm just so confused I always thought the main voice is the one that's always mean to me was just kind of like my thoughts in my head until Tuesday when it was wanting me to do something I didn't want to do and I started mentally arguing back with it I don't know how do you know if it's just...

Thanks Simply Simon. I'm sure me and my therapist will discuss this much more going forward. Just out of curiosity what does your carry current therapist think you have?

So I spilled the beans about everything to my therapist today all the horrible details the voices in my head which I think are just my brain telling me that I'm a piece of s*** or whatever anyway with everything that happened in therapy he now thinks I might have DID. I sad that I don't have...

amosmorris, I don't usually check out all session although once it pretty much was. We are going to talk about it today. I wrote a letter explaining everything so I don't have to risk checking out before I get it all out. He may know about that I am not sure. I remember he said something like he...

Sorry I am new to the whole dissociation thing. When I do it I pretty much am aware of everything that is going on I just go deep in my head but my head feels like it's a Million Miles Away and i stare off. Anyway i recently dissociated during a session and I missed most of what the therapist...

Thank you everyone for your comments it looks like it will be DBT for now because I want to get the most bang for my buck I don't have much spare time.

I'm in need of advice from people who are familiar with both of these. My T gives me bits and pieces of both as well as EMDR but I want to do more to get better faster on my own. I have extremely abusive inner voices and I've just become aware that I dissociate more and more with certain...

I am quite aware that my normal self is always stone faced. My T says he has a hard time reading me. My best friends admit that they see a glimpse of a smile once in awhile, i usually exptess humor through verbal sarcasm and i have them in stitches much of the time but it is always delivered...

Thanks UnicornSightings. You took the words right out of my mouth. Did you ever say anything to your therapist about how you felt? I'm sure I will at some point but there is only so much time and there are just so many other more important things right now.

LOL I am so out of it right now I didn't even notice or care. I understand where you are coming from though, I would do the same thing. Thanks for the advice it was very helpful I'm looking forward to my session on Friday but I'm also scared of his response. Don't ask me why it just am. I am...

This is new to me and my therapist just realized on my last visit that I dissociated on him through EMDR Actually I'm more comfortable with that I know that I have done so multiple times in the past. What has me really scared about the last session was that i actually wasn't myself that entire...

I just wanted to update. I had an EMDR session today. I asked my T so when does it end and he said basically whem i either come back with nothing or I start saying stuff like it's over I know it happened but I don't feel anything, or I don't feel that way anymore etc. He said at that point is...

Today was the first time my T noticed that I dissociated in session. I know of at least three times when I did it and I always seem to dissociate when I have the thought that I'm dead inside. I think he only noticed this time because we were doing EMDR and kept asking me how that made me feel or...

Agatha, yes I have a safe place and i work on mindfulness and breathing exercises. He is on vacation this week so I see him again this Tuesday I plan on talking about a lot of stuff including my questions again on EMDR probably will not do EMDR again until Friday. I hate when he always ask me at...

Start out the same way but we never discuss the positive idea. He said a couple sessions ago that eventually we will start looking at a more positive way to look at it but because I'm big on honesty and truthfulness he suggested ways that we can word it so that I can actually believe it. I don't...

Thanks Suzetig. I read so much about transference and people that are obsessed with their T. I kind of have this problem too but I am too controlling to let it be known. My T made an appt for me last Monday even though he said he usually doesn't see anyone at 5 on Mondays but he wanted me to at...

My therapist has been on vacation this week yes it's killing me but I don't want him to know that. I have tried to look at it kind of is a test for myself I have not done well I'm afraid to even tell him my thoughts. I actually feel sorry for him because I know when he comes back he's going to...

Not the next session but once he finds out how bad it's been we may address it at some point I have too much baggage I'm still trying to address one car accident it's been going on for 3 months I don't do too well with EMDR yet

I have stretched like this in the mornings although always involuntarily. It is not like when you stretch your arms out and yawn or something. It is mainly centered on the left side of my stomach area. Sometimes it is not too strong and I can control it bit without showing visible signs to the...

I'm not quite sure how to describe this I asked my therapist the first time it happened during EMDR but he said he doesn't for sure. We were processing a new memory and it led to memories of my dad and I started feeling this strange sensation in my stomach or core area kind of like an...

Thank you so much for that reply it really hit home. Yes I am going to say something. I too would just prefer he be blunt that's the way I am, a just the facts Jack person. I hate when he makes me make all the decisions. Just tell me what I need to know don't treat me with kid gloves I hate...

I guess my problem is he asked me last time if I self harm and I basically said no. I didn't realize until this weekend that what I do actually is self-harming so now I have to basically tell him I lied. That's part of this struggle besides the embarrassment.

How do I work up the nerve to tell my therapist that I self harm through masturbation? I would rather avoid the issue altogether but it is been getting worse over the past few weeks.I have no idea why I do this I do not remember any child sexual abuse.

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable or annoyed when their therapist is too nice? My therapist is always so careful to tell me before he does something or he won't give an opinion until I agree to hear it etc. He is always so "nice" I can hardly stand it. I just wish he would be more firm or push...

I will have another session tomorrow. The last one brought back stuff I don't want to think about and I am not looking forward to doing it all over again. I just wish I knew when you stop reliving the crap and start adding the positive thinking into it. I know that happens at some point but I...
