    Hiding

    I hid behind the pillow during therapy, spent most of my time there. My therapist asked me for the pillow and I asked why and he said because he wants to be able to see me. I don't want to be seen. Why would he want to see me? He will just hate or be disgusted by what he sees. I dissociate a...

    Frozen?

    My therapist says I'm stuck in a frozen state. How does one find themselves stuck in a frozen state? I want to talk I really do, but when we bring up some heavy stuff I tend to dissociate. My therapist notices this and either gives me space to try and bring myself back or he tries to engage...

    Media?therapists?hope?

    Ok so lately in the media, through some self help books and online therapist, I have been hearing a lot of things about PTSD (which in my own opinion I think awareness is always good). In particular though, I have noticed many hopeful comments on being 'cured'. Such as the ability to be 'cured...

    Here Comes The Wave!

    Ok I am so badly trying not to be overwhelmed. I usually work today, but yesterday when I checked my work schedule it strangely showed that I actually had today off. Which is not normal at all. I always show up for my shifts. I am very reliable, but it's because I'm so so so scared to do...

    Truth Will Set You Free But First It Turns You Inside Out.

    I think this is correct, but I have no clue. Attempting to start my dairy. The truth will set you free, but first it turns you inside out. I'm avoiding most of my childhood, so this is most likely backwards from what I should be doing but it's the only place I know where to start from. It's...
