Your being subtle, i wonder if that is from fear of you standing up for yourself and possible retaliation or if it is from self-doubt and you not knowing very clearly what to do or how to react. As freedomfighter stated, subtle is not a bad thing. It may depend on how it is done. Retaliation...

A simple question: How afraid are you of the deeper feelings? Some of these uncomfortable things and you holding back on crying has me wonder that. It must be painful to even think you are "failing" therapy. Please be gentle with yourself on this judgement and know that it is very tough and...

If you spent your last session just crying the feelings are really coming strongly right now so the timing of being turned down for a phone session must hurt. What your therapist says about risk of dissociation is stating the change is because concern for your well being. It is painful when...

It sounds very painful for you there Serena. Part of the healing is getting more to the memory and so for you that the symptoms may seem worse at the moment makes sense. It is in that more intense place where they have more ability to be healed at least. Finding the balance with intensity of...

Ty Knak, yes i have been to therapy. The circumstance itself was so unlikely (who would imagine a celebrity hiding their movement? of course they do duhhhhhhhh) that belief tends to be a matter of degree over time with then full degree not there. My therapist and psychiatric nurse are both...

It is good you have such a grounded and caring therapist with this coming up. Yes, repressed memories can play havoc with the life. That you are rediscovering things you find enriches you is very helpful during a time like this. If you have had other abuses in your life since your father...

It has been a few days since you posted. Not sure if you will see this or not. I am confused about the diagnosis he gave you if just for disagreeing with much he said. Therapists are not always right and disagreeing is our right. Did he state any other reason for such a diagnosis? It...

Pretty darn bad session it sounds like. Find your own way to happiness? Sounds all very nice and pithy, but pithy is not always accurate. Healing takes sharing and care from others. Anger is there until we get through it, especially if there is pain underlying that anger. I've seen problems...

I am really confused as to why your therapist would be inclined to not trust you. Yeah some circumstances are so unbelievable that it makes it a stretch to be believed and i have that for myself. My therapist thinking something important could be an hallucination has hurt my healing. Being...

I am sorry you have been some whacked out unbelievable stuff. That often end up painful. Best to you in your healing from it. I talked with someone who gave a dearly needed perspective. Her not saying anything does not make her a bad person either as maybe it shows she is human and could...

Thanks for the replies. That EMDR can not prove anything is a problem then. Belief is separating me from support and that is why this is so important. For it to be considered a hallucination has it not being taken seriously for the background of it all. The details are a bugger, thus i leave...

Thank you so much for the response. I read that EMDR is used with some psychotic symptoms so wasn't sure if it could prove difference between real and hallucination. For real, real belief certainly helps with the connections we absolutely need for healing. That if it was hallucination not...

Repressed memories can play havoc on ones life in ways not realized. If your memories are coming back my best to you in getting all the support for yourself that you need. I am glad your therapist believes and trusts you. That is crucial! If not sure what to say maybe putting it in writing...

Hi, Something happened a couple of years ago which led to my going into full decompensation and i ended up in psychosis. Problem is one of the events which led to the meltdown did actually happen, yet because of the meltdown only a couple believe it was not a hallucination. This is a chicken...
