    Would Love Some Input About Trauma Clinic Experience

    I have never been to a trauma clinic, so take what I say with that in mind. But from what I have learnt about trauma, it seems a really odd thing that they said they hadn't seen someone stand and look out the window for 2 hours in an art therapy session. And odd that they didn't think about...

    My therapist destroyed me

    ...her clients. If she's young, then maybe she hasn't had a practice for very long. Or it could be that most of her experience is coming from books and not so much from a practice of establishing good boundaries in her own life. But that's really just her business. Unfortunately I'm not very...

    Childhood entertainment about trauma, for other people

    This is why I don't watch a lot of TV or turn things off if it is just sensationalising trauma. There is so much of it in every entertainment media. I used to work in an area that dealt with homicides, a long time ago. And that's the reason I don't watch films about murders. It's simply not...

    How have you treated yourself recently? As in, something you did just for yourself.

    Love the entries! I took myself to the bookstore and got a new cooking book that I'm actually excited to use just a few days ago. Haven't been cooking much and it's been taking a toll on my food intake - plus anything that'll keep me from having to stare at a screen longer is welcome lol hate...

    I Realize That I

    I find comfort in books. Not even necessarily reading them. I find myself carrying a book in my bag or keeping them near me in every room on the house or on my desk at work. Idk why just knowing they are there is comforting.

    Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

    On my night walk tonight came across a little wooden house that had mountains of books in the front yard. All jumbled and piled and spilling out of boxes and falling-apart bookshelves. Across the whole front yard. That house had been a little ramshackle for a long time with an empty bird bath...

    Memory loss

    ...and understand what is happening inside your mind and why. It's great you have started therapy. A book that really helped me, if reading books helps you, is "healing the fragmented selves of trauma survivors" by Janina fisher. It talks a lot about trauma and disassociation and parts of...

    Hobbies

    These days, I don't do much. I write regularly (and have 3 books planned for publishing in 2026) but don't really consider that a "hobby." And I am always with my cats--also not a hobby, in my book. I like to walk in the woods, take photographs of animals and most anything in nature, lots of...

    The 1% thread - What can I / you do, to make our situation 1% better right now?

    I felt overwhelmed/frustrated/neurotic this morning, so I got out of the flat and cycled into town. Bought mushrooms for my steak and then went to a café to have a cappuccino. Read my book for forty minutes. It was just the tonic.

    Chat, check-in, and hang out

    ...last legs and a green baseball cap with a Jolly Roger patch velcroed to the front. I do actually have a full set of the local uniform back home, but it seemed unwise to travel in it and I only took one bag which was full of books. Also, I'm rather enjoying being a bit of a mystery for a few...

    PTSD from alien abductoin recently

    ...with this family. Before challenging a client's beliefs, any psychiatrist will build up a relationship. See Dr David Burn's podcasts and books. There absolutely needs to be rapport and trust being built and in place and to be heard. He emphasises the treatment of those in certain states...

    Readers thread: what or who are you reading right now?

    So, I finished Nobody's Girl (hard read), and my goal now is to finish two books I started a very long time ago--Ornitherapy and White Spirit Animals--by the end of the year. I hope to start over fresh in 2026.

    Other Trying to socialize with others is infuriating

    Are you being 'too nice'? In that, are you being authentically you? Have you tried making friends in a group where you share the same interest? Maybe like a book club, or running group or something. Yeah, it seems to me that social media brings the worst out in people and is very performative...

    Last movie or tv series you watched?

    Currently watching The Name of the Rose on DVD. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel and the film is not without its charms. I love books to the point of it being likely pathological in some way, as well as a good mystery.

    Anxiety/PTSD - Where to get help? Pros are too expensive.

    Some ideas that come to mind are: meditation groups, self-help books, yoga, church, exercise groups (hiking, tai chi, walking), and art classes. Basically channeling that nervous energy into action, creativity, and mindfulness.

    Any tricks, exercises, or books for emotional numbness?

    Does anyone know of any tricks, exercises, or books about dealing with and getting through emotional numbness? One of my issues is a pervasive emotional numbness. I have trouble knowing what I want, I can't process or work with feelings I can't access, I can't connect with others, I can't...
