Quite often my psychotherapist will point out something is missing. I always let my self feel and think about it and get back to her when I have processed it. I did have one incident in a long summer break when I lost time and smeared shit on my duvet. I took photographs, told her the events...

Hi I am so sorry you really are going through it. I am new to but although like you I am in therapy twice a week, I am luckier enough to be able to on the whole cope. Don't give up and know that sometimes you have to go backwards before you can go forwards. In away it was good the EMDR...

I feel shame at not being like everybody else, partner, children, and now NO family. I also have observed people with these things, and it's not like in books or commercials everything has its territories... I am feeling my shame, but letting it pass. I find that remembering the positive things...

I suspect the NHS have a duty of care. If a young person is in NHS psychotherapy for two years and isn't ready to leave or relapses they can come back. So this may apply to older people I have been in psychotherapy on the NHS and my two years will be up end of March. Like you I am terrified...

I am new here to. In the UK it is very rare but you can get psychotherapy on the NHS. Would there maybe a charity that could perhaps help you connected to a hospital? I really fought for my treatment I had two NHS Counsellors turn me down one because of suicidal ideation and the other because I...

Poor, poor you. Just try and be calm. Write down all the positive things and perhaps consider phoning a help line. I think the above post is spot onto.

I suppose it depends on the type of psychotherapist. Mine has the 'blank canvas' technique. She NEVER answers a question about me. But I have got used to it and it does make me reflect. I have learnt to know what she will do next there are set patterns in her communication and behaviour. I know...

Most things I remember are not of the actual abuse hapoening to me but being out of body looking down and concentrating on something specific for example the very first one, was a brown blanket. That lead to a flashback of me as a tint child crouching with just a vest on and no pants, but the...

Thank you. No I know these people are very strong. It is the loneliness of being strong and realising that it is impossible for people to understand unless you have been through it yourself.

My body has memories that were unleashed by this and the sheer feelings of helplessness and shame are very, very hard to handle. Has anyone else had this monstrous behaviour, the results of leaving my body are that one feels totally disoriented like my brain is fuzzed up. The Beast knew I had...

So pleased to read this. You are SO not alone. My abuse was familial, as a child, teenager. I used to I believe literally leave my body. The beast who abused me wasn't content with just abusing me as a child, teenager, he discovered that I didn't REMEMBER, and so developed a system where I...

I have avoiding hearing about him (am in UK) as much as possible but I got very upset the other day when he described people with PTSD as weak... I have complex PTSD. every conceivable abuse possibly from being a tiny baby. Both the assessing psychotherapist and my present one look at my...

I agree with the last thread but would add that it sounds like there was emotional incest and that was wrong but perhaps not done intentionally to harm you.

I disassociate sometimes it seems to be linked to very, very deep shock. I have found that being prepared in certain situations helps but when the unexpected happens it can really get me. Does anyone lose time? After a recent unexpected police witness statement (I was abused) I lost 30 minutes...
