Thanks @Jade- ... yes this is the type of thing I've been looking for... I'll have a go with it.. can I ask, do you pay for a more advanced version? And if so, what do the features help you with? 🙏

My issue is, I live with others who could potentially find my journal (including my son who is a child). I can also mislay things and I have, in the past, left things around I've written which other people have read. I'm also paranoid about dying and others having access to it (my partner died...

Yes! Not a bad idea! I could do that... I will if there's no other way to link it to all my other accounts...

Ah nice to hear from you too @Midnightmoon ! Hope things are going a bit better for you @somerandomguy the security on Google docs isn't good enough I don't think... wouldn't want it linking to my Google drive and account I don't think... but thanks for the suggestion

Hi everyone, . I'm looking for an app, or shared platform, to use between therapy sessions with my therapist. Part of the difficulty for me right now, as a result of my dissociative disorder, is pretty bad amnesia. I do forget session content and more importantly I forget the states I...

Oooh no I haven't heard of this.. I'll look it up... but I can kind of see the logic.. this is what I need... it's what the somatic therapist said we'll do too.. work up to me tolerating an increased heart rate slowly without that signaling danger to my body...

🙏 Great suggestion thanks... I've never heard of him or this work... Historically, mindfulness has been hard for me...I did a course once and it back fired...I was in a group of people and I was the only one who couldn't sit with myself being 'mindful' ... it was too triggering..I just kept...

I've been considering this in relation to myself in a number of different scenarios, where i can see in hindsight, this may have been what was going on... No, it is helpful as I recognise this process you're describing I'll say!! I think I would have found that incredibly challenging- like...

This 1000000000 % !! (Sorry I'll pipe down now @Midnightmoon!).

I think this is what I've been avoiding doing. Ties in I guess with communicating with parts...I think I like this concept better than 'Go and communicate with your parts'. Spending time with a part of myself feels much less expectant. I like the concept of being an observer too. Not sure if...

Definitely NOT a you problem! I'd argue it's actually damaging. I can see why... 😞 I've found this really helpful too... Oh god yeah, totally agree!! Stay away from YouTube vids etc of people with DID / OSDD! ... not wanting to offend anyone sharing their experience of having a DD, but what...

@Midnightmoon - maybe you've seen this already, but I thought this sums up quite well whare we were talking about before earlier on in the thread, re the importance of the face to face interaction with the therapist... how this impacts on a nervous system level (causing more challenge and...

This is so interesting (and really helpful to hear) @Sideways .. and what you say in the context of your experience, makes sense... This is so so hard. If I had to sum up one of my main issues it's this. I can't trust my suffering internally. As in validate it from many different angles. I...

🙂 The one thing i found when i went wasthat she didn't have a big shock (not on her face at least). She just treated me as if it were like any other referral she would have to do. I think sometimes we create stories in our own heads about how other people will think or feel about it all. In...

I was too... really shocked...i was expecting the GP to refuse. But i had an online consultation with the dissociative disorder clinic director back in September to explain my situation, that i had a diagnosis, but i didn't accept it, but did need help. Asked for opinion on whether he thought...

@Midnightmoon I'm so sorry, you have so much to contend with... let me get my initial thoughts down before they go... 1) I feel there is a power differential going on between new T and you. So many behaviours of hers that you've outlined on this thread, are totally unacceptable as a T - and...

Oh @Midnightmoon ! Sending hugs if you want them! ok, don't want to make this about me, but currently feeling really cross for you right now... just no.... nope... this is unprofessional (given the other stuff you've told us too)... gonna break this down gently... I can totally see why you...

Really good point thanks @Friday ... Maybe I can start by writing it down? This probably sounds really stupid ... like really stupid... but I don't know how to SAY what I need...I can write it maybe if I have time to think about it... but I think I'd have read it out loud... I feel like such...

Great! In your own time of course... Gotcha Thanks sounds like you've become quite an expert yourself (not by choice unfortunately 🫠) Glad to hear that for you! Although obviously there's a flip side I'd imagine if new T is challenging 🫣 Funny you should mention this...I was considering...

Yes I agree a tailored strategy which works for you is best and you need to try a few of those strategies out which takes time... and, your T needs to know the extent you're not remembering things.. they need to be on that same page so that together you're working on it... I think though...

Ah hi @Midnightmoon ! Ditto to all that! You've hit it on the head! Old T was a humanistic psychotherapist with no experience or training in Dissociative Disorders...new T, a Clinical Psychologist specialist in Dissociative Disorders... there is so far quite a contrast... not necessarily in a...

Hi @Midnightmoon .. I've been away for a bit but I'm just catching up with this thread now... sorry you have to put up with this therapist bullshit with both 1 and 2! Others have already said it, but again, you really do deserve better... I'm just wondering where you're at with it now? Not...

Thanks, I appreciate that. And obviously same goes for you.

Yes

Makes sense... for me it's about being told I'm wrong in what I'm saying, that it's not understandable, that it's selfish, that I'm stupid. So guess that's also about being hurt.
