Wishing everyone a healthy and safe Christmas.

Welcome ( :

Your BF doesn't respect you. Nothing you have said indicates to me that you are being selfish. I'm sorry you have already been through so much. I really hope that you are able to move on from this guy and eventually meet someone that respects and cares about you. Please keep working towards...

You are both just people. I think it would be fine to have a friend who worked as a therapist so long as your friendship was just that, a friendship. If either of you felt that the nature of your relationship was effected by her being a T it might not work. I have a friend who is a GP. When my...

For my children to have a happy Christmas.

Are you making up for the lost hours by sleeping longer in the mornings? Is your problem that you want to go to sleep earlier and wake earlier? I have a similar problem where my mind is very busy / fast paced. I feel like I have to be reading something or doing something at all times. One...

I am dealing with an excess of anger at the moment, which is new to me. I feel that, at the moment, it is important to allow and process some of this anger. But I do accept that it is my choice to do this. There have defiantly been times when my anger has been based on perceptions which have...

Guys can get off on it?? I asked my partner if guys ever get turned on having their testicles assaulted. He nearly threw up. He is giving me a worried look right now.

I think i'd be a bit weary about hurting him. If I knew for sure that I would be able to get away I would. But would it be enough to stop him?

Welcome CeCee I live in Australia too. I hope that you find the program very helpful. Let us know how you get on.

Could you try wearing ear muffs or a thick beanie over your ears? I guess that depends on the climate you live in. Headphones maybe? Children's noise can be really difficult to cope with. I have children.

Welcome, I hope you can find the courage to see a doctor. You deserve to get better. Would taking your husband or your friend to the doctor with you be an option? All the best.

They look great!

I use to put on an old 'Carebears' video when this happened. It was my favourite as a kid and having it play in the background as I fell asleep always made me feel safe. Second best would have been 'The Sound Of Music' lol. You could try your favourite comedy or cartoon movie, even if its...

I'm grateful for a hot shower and clean PJ's

Overwhelmed

I see my partner as childlike. He is playful, trusting, carefree, naïve, selfish and unreliable. We have a lot of fun being silly together but whenever there is a crisis he is no where to be found. My role is to do all of the manly stuff and take on all responsibility. His role is to help out...

Hi Lifeisdifficult, Welcome to the community

I have recently decided to work on some things in my life. The first was becoming more present. I feel I've been 'away' for a long time. I want to be a strong sense if security for my children and to be able to watch them grow up. I feel as if I've missed so much. I had no idea how to 'wake...

Your partner is wrong. You can't just forget and move on.

Welcome. I don't think it is a question of why did you stay. Its a question of when were you finally able to break the ties that held you there? You were trapped in an awful situation, which you have now escaped. Go you! Remember he did the wrong thing, you didn't hurt anyone. I am so glad...

My therapist told me that acts of sexual violence stem from within the person and perpetrators don't usually respond well to treatment. Ive also heard the same said for pedophiles. Do you think this is true? Does this mean they can not change?

That is great! I'm happy for you (:

Maybe now that your therapist has had some time to process his feelings, he feels that he handled the situation badly and wants to rectify. I hope that you feel you can rely on your therapist to provide professional service again. I think that is important.
