Until recently I was receiving specialist DID/trauma therapy for the first time, since being lost in the mental health system being incorrectly treated for almost 6 years. However, they have now deemed me too 'high risk' to do the work as an outpatient and have discharged me. They have...

My dissociation is getting worse and happening for longer. I don't know what I am doing. Last week I came around and I had smashed a vase and had cuts to my thighs and groin area. Last night I found myself in a forested area and this morning I have realised I have deep scratches to my forehead...

Got told today this is what I will be starting. I didn't fully understand what was being explained to me. Does anybody have any experience of this therapy? I have never heard of it before.

Has anybody had any experience of any? I'm talking about treatments/therapies that are primarily aimed at the somatosensory experience of (C)PTSD. Things like yoga, meditation, massage, acupuncture etc. Is anybody of the belief that work needs to be done on the body first before any form of...

Has anybody has any experience of massages after trauma? If so, in what ways has it helped? Or not helped of course. Has been suggested to me and am considering it and have a trusted physiotherapist but am terrified of any skin to skin contact. Want to learn to accept my body and explore safe...

I have a therapy course for a year, and I am six months in and my therapist has just told me she's leaving. I have shared some of the most personal and painful things with her, and I don't know how to process this or how to cope. I will get somebody else but I know I will not develop the trust...

I don't know how to explain this very well. I am sorry if this doesn't make very much sense at all. For 18 years I grew up in a ritualistic abusive group. My therapist has explained that I was programmed to respond in certain ways to certain things. Halloween is always massive for me; I am...

I'm having extremely difficult nights. I dissociate every night, and I keep coming around about 5am having realised I've tied ligature points, cut my self, bruised myself, and this morning I found myself choking on my pillow case. I don't know how this is happening, it is getting worse as I am...

I am currently severely restricting my fluids because I am too scared of having to go to the toilet. I only go once a day, in the morning and I literally spend all night psyching myself to go to the toilet. I get very dissociated whenever I see the scar near my vagina that he made and I simply...

Tonight my friend told me that the person who hurt me also hurt them, and told me how. They only told me because I promised them I wouldn't say anything and that they trust me implicitly. They were in pieces. I am in pieces, I feel so angry and so guilty. I don't know what to do. I know they...

I was really distressed and in the middle of flashbacks, but this is the worst thing I could have possibly have done. I often go to undress when I have flashbacks but I've never actually stripped before. I haven't seen her since, but will tomorrow (I'm inpatient) and I honestly cannot face her...
