    The difference between being stuck in feelings and feeling feelings to let them pass?

    I think context and learning about our disorders help. Say I am lost in my past identity assuming feeling guilt and shame. I am not sure how it works for anyone else but me. It is not instantly but to use someone else’s word I reframe it. All the guilt and shame has to do with what I did...

    The difference between being stuck in feelings and feeling feelings to let them pass?

    I have been thinking. Your feelings can be linked to your thoughts. If I work on my erroneous thinking, putting my thoughts by way of reason and understanding as pre eminent,wont’t my feelings gradually be given a subordinate place in my healing process. It is like this type of change can take...

    What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

    Thinking about some of the posts and how consequences we suffer due to PTSD or CPTSD have a long arm that reaches into our journey toward healing to discourage us. Thinking about the regrets and the if onlys that sabotage us moving forward. To all those who are living with regrets and are in...

    Current Weather

    Tomorrow will be 110. We will get down to 84 tonight. It took me 13 years to get used to Arizona weather. I think the US is at two ends of the spectrum.

    The difference between being stuck in feelings and feeling feelings to let them pass?

    I wish I could feel more. waiting for my feeling wheel to arrive then I am going to immerse myself in water coloring and printing my own. No,I am funny, and appear a normal person but do not feel and no one that knows me knows that. I am not a robot! My schnauzer knows I feel and he feels back.

    This is the kind of day…

    My day was hot 105! Fortunate, found two pair of brand new name brand slacks at thrift shop, filled with fruit from the produce section and most of all educational due to the patience of an olive jewel, who is a jewel!

    Dealing with boundary issues in therapy

    Ok….this is clearing up. I am understanding. I did ask Dr. Catalyst the most effective therapies for CPTSD. I think that I understand. I know I feel when I am alone and in an off day. I am very analytical in my approach and that can be balanced out more with opening up my emotions. So my...

    Dealing with boundary issues in therapy

    Thank you for clearing that up. I am feeling like that type of therapy would be difficult for me and how I process. But maybe that is what works for many people. I think I would get confused and wonder where we were going. I know Gestalt therapy does work and I would like it to speak with those...

    Dealing with boundary issues in therapy

    This is after the fact and I appreciate everything I have read.Are there any studies on males seeking out women counselors over male? Effectiveness. Being called to account and deal with more than the interaction of the said feelings. I am not excluding any genders. I just have this thought...

    I found my therapist's home address

    Great. I just listened to doctors on the forum discuss this. Glad it worked within the framework. I don’t know if I could control that so easily internally. Definitely could externally but I would always be overly sensitive to that aspect of the relationship. Thank you for sharing..

    I found my therapist's home address

    This is an older post but my “ feeling” is perhaps you should look for another T. Once you cross the line with emotional involvement of any kind the value of your sessions is diminished. The honesty and transparency are affected. I just listened to a psychologist discuss this very thing. You...

    Other Being Hard On Myself

    I have had several reactions that thought I was being too hard on myself. I felt like Alice who fell down a rabbit hole. Sometimes I was very large and did not fit in my skin. Sometimes I was very very small and other people were big. Even God was small. I joined this forum and started...

    Sufferer Hello, fng here… Police & Ministry. Dealing with death and misery.

    Hello. I have been a person of faith for 40 years. I think, however there are a couple things I can share. God provided not only the word but other skills as well. I prayed so many times that I wanted to die and Lord, can I go home now. Depression is painful. Not only emotionally but it can be...
