    Poll How Fast Do You Eat?

    On my own or with hubby I eat quickly, if I am with other people I am more conscious so eat slower. Food is my comfort I eat with I am happy, sad, angry etc its how I deal with life. I am totally an emotional eater and struggle to control my eating and not over eat.

    Hmmm, Where To Start.

    I am so sorry to hear what you have been through. Sounds like life is tough for you know and I totally understand not wanting to leave the house. I think one on one therapy would be best and a therapist isn't going to judge you on your appearance. I am wondering if you can have contact with a...

    Speaking In A Child Voice

    I am working with my T at the moment on different "parts" of me. I am guessing your child part has come out while you are with your T because your child part feels safe with them. My guess is Its that child inside you that wants to talk about stuff that that happened while you were young or...

    My New Therapist Terminated Me

    I am sorry to hear that your T has terminated you, I cant get over that she did it through txt!!!! I know it must be upsetting for you but a T that terminates through txt is not a T worth seeing in my eyes. Hope you can find a T that works for you

    First Real Date Since Trauma

    If there is sex talk before you have even met, then it sounds to me like he is only after sex not a relationship. Please be careful

    One Year On

    Hi Sammy! :) There is nothing wrong with you for the way you feel, and you are not bad. If you had of had a close relationship with your mum you would miss her and be upset but because you never had a close relationship with your mum now she has gone it as if nothing has changed. You are free...

    Overeating

    I totally relate to overeating ....... mine is to the extreme where I need to lose 50 kilos just to be at an ok weight. It is a long and slow process with my T to figure out what it is that makes me want to eat all the time. And the voice in my head that says to eat as you can start healthy...

    Feels Like Giving Up

    I can totally understand what a big decision it would have been for you to make. Good on you for making the decision yourself, thinking about your self and what is best for you.

    Childhood Anyone Need Motherly Love?

    I can totally relate to what you are saying. I had casual one off sex with many men a few years back, not because I wanted the sex I wanted the comfort but the men all had to be older. My T is old enough to be my mother and I wish she was, I wish she would take me home and care for me like a...

    Online Therapy

    I could never do online therapy. A huge part of therapy for me is the connection with my T. I don't feel the connection would happen if it wasn't face to face. And my T gives me a hug at the end of a session, a hug through the computer is just not the same :P

    My T Hugs Clients!

    I get a hug from my T at the end of each session. I asked her after about the 6th or so session if she gave hugs. She said she did and would I like one at the end of the session. I said I did and from that session onwards we have always hugged at the end of each session. She is like a mother...

    My T Is On Vacation Conflicted

    I agree with FridayJones, check with the replacement first. But the way I see it is you are in therapy for yourself. You need to do what is best for you. As we grow sometimes we outgrow our current therapist or sometimes they can only take us so far then we need to move on to someone else who...
