How does it work in Australia, can you get free sessions? Here I have been lucky enough to get therapy through ACC. Have been given 16 sessions then they review it and hopefully give us more. But yeah I have the fear that we will just start to get somewhere then wont be given any more sessions

Well done on making it to your appointment, it doesn't matter that you couldn't say much the most important thing is that you showed up! I can totally understand your fear of what you have written but if they are a good therapist they will be gentle in how they respond. Your t will already know...

@LF1 How did your session go? :)

Hi again :) I just wanted to say I totally understand all of what you have written!! You can make it to your appointment and it will be ok! With my writing what I do is I write it and then I don't re read it, because if I re read it I wont want to give it to my T! It sounds like the stuff you...

Just wanted to say you don't need to be lonely we are here! The middle of the night is the hardest when you cant sleep :( Sorry you are having a rough time, I hope you can find something to comfort you and help you feel safe

Hey I have this same problem and I am in my 30's! Most times in therapy I feel like I regress to a child and struggle to talk etc. It is really embarrassing and frustrating. But I guess its the child in me that never got a chance to talk back when my abuse happened and therapy is a safe place...

First wouldn't worry about the extra 10 mins, if it was a problem for your T they wouldn't have gone over for the extra 10 mins. I understand your issue with bumping into other clients and Im just a no body lol. I would on the odd occasion bump into another client on my way in or out of a...

I normally have my piece of paper with me and put it next to me on the couch and my T will normally say "I see you have some writing with you" or something like that. I always feel extremely nervous handing it over to her but for me what is written is normally really raw stuff that I could...

I could have written this post myself! I totally understand where you are coming from. I fear being judged and I fear that I frustrate my T. But they are here to help us and they have heard all sorts before so nothing shocks them and they are not there to judge us. They are also used to people...

Same here!

This is my fear! Im sorry someone said this to you, people on the outside don't know the struggles we go through and how we wished we didn't have to live the way we do. Its hard work fighting every day to try and work through all our struggles, keep fighting don't give up! You are worth it :)

A couple of months ago my old T dropped me but set me up with a new T to see. She wanted to make sure the new T she set me up with would be a good fit for me. Which I am very happy to say that my new T is fantastic and I am actually glad my old T dropped me because this new one I feel is a...

Hubby and I never really had any hobbies and very few friends. We got into geocaching (which is all throughout the world so should be in some in your area) It is like a gps treasure hunt. It has got us outdoors doing a lot of walking as we go in search for the caches. We are part of the local...

*high five* That's totally awesome, so happy for you :):):):)

I know you say you are too scared to talk to your therapist ...... but I think this is what you need to do. They wont think you are a liar, they will listen to what you have to say and they can help you work through it all. It is quite common for us to not have a memory of what happened ..... it...

Welcome imok We are a great bunch in here, and best of all we understand what you are going through :)

You are not alone in feeling like this! It is really hard to open up to someone and talk about our trauma! Have you been seeing your T long? We just need to remember that we are seeing a T to help us with our struggles and most T's would have heard it all before and they are not there to judge...

I was dropped by my old T just over 2 months ago, I remember it all so clearly and balling my eyes out thinking how am I going to survive. I had a new T chosen for me by my old T and I am now so grateful as my new T is sooo amazing! I still miss my old T but the new T I have I know I will be...

I would expect any decent T would know that trauma clients struggle with talking about their trauma and wouldn't push the person to talk about until trust is gained. It is a really slow process its not something that can be solved in a couple of months. I hope you can communicate with your T...

This is what I think too. Even though I am sure they have heard it before and it shouldn't bother me what she thinks, I don't want her to not like me

Same here, today is day number 2 at my new job so I have not had much to drink as I don't want to be going to the loo all the time. I know its really bad for my body not drinking enough but if I was to drink the recommended 2L a day I might as well just spend the day on the loo lol

I am wondering if anyone else has this problem? Whenever I have an appointment with my T I go to the loo before I leave home (only a 10 min drive to gets to T) and half the time by the time I have got there I need to go to the loo again. This morning I had to stop in at some public toilets just...

My T asks about feelings in my body! I don't get it either! Today we were laughing about something and she said how does my body feel when I laugh ..... umm I don't know! Lucky for me my T is really good if I say I don't know. I don't think you are doing anything wrong, maybe just explain to...

What a crap day you had I don't blame you for breaking down the way you did, most people in your situation would have done the same. I can understand you feeling stupid but please don't it was such a stressful day that everything just got on top of you. Im sure your friend will understand. Was...
