Any chance you could reach out to your T, or their clinic, and ask for DBT groups they recommend?

Welcome to the forum - sorry you have reason to here, but glad you found us. Hopefully this place helps make things a little less isolating.

Bessel van der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score is a good read on this topic. He explains the neurological differences that result from developmental trauma, and some of the ways that can be remedied. Even for the changes that can’t be ‘reversed’ as such (like the way the amygdala and hippocampus...

Yep, that period of the recovery journey is really rough. No two ways about it - it’s hugely emotional and destabilising. This won’t always be your life. It will get better. I did a lot of therapies over the years, and trauma-focused psychodynamic therapy (talk therapy) has been critical for...

Welcome to the forum. So sorry to hear about your dogs. I lost my best mate myself at the end of last year and it’s still raw. It’s incredible how much joy the little furballs can bring to our lives, and the size of the hole they leave when their time with us ends.

It’s 3am. That’s how well I slept last night.

Yep, heaps better. My experience with a number of different models is that they very typically tend to start oversimplifying towards the end of long posts, or longer conversations. The language, though, is a lot better. And the clarity around relevant research is definitely something I...

Hi Coach I typically don’t attach to people. At best, I have ambivalent attachment. But for the most part, I’ve gone through life without deep attachments. I had abusive parents. I did, however, experience a deep attachment with an abusive cult-like figure as a pre-teen. This attachment was...

Welcome to the forum - glad you found us. I think most folks here will relate to this. There are definitely times when we are just surviving, and sometimes barely that. It gets better, though. It gets worth it. And in the meantime, there’s places like this one, where you aren’t alone:)
