Hi Guys I've been in therapy now for almost 8 months. I still find it hard to open up and communicate with her. Sometimes my anxiety gets so bad I get horrible stomach cramps (IBS) and end up taking co-codamol and clonazepam to calm it down before a therapy session. I've noticed when I do...

Hi Guys Wondered if anyone has experienced this too. I've heard it said that some people just before they have a flashback get tunnel vision. Does anyone else's vision go really weird just before dissociation? Mine either goes completely white or I see things through a brightly coloured fog...

Hi guys I just wanted a sounding board really. no questions, just a place to vent my pain. Yesterday my therapist terminated our sessions without prior warning (though i could tell it was coming). She said there's no trust in our relationship anymore (she could have meant from both sides but...

Hi Guys, My T suggested today doing some Inner Child work - specifically using Penny Parks' method. I am very wary. Other therapists have tried art therapy and the empty chair technique and the result is the same - I can do it alone but in front of someone else I suffer with major performance...

Hi Guys, I wondered if you could all help me out (especially those of you who have experienced multiple serious CSA AND adult rape. I was abused by 12 people as a child, raped (oral/vaginal/digital) by all. Some adults, some teens, one girl. My mum was emotionally abusive/neglectful and...

Hi Guys, I wondered if anyone knows anything about this please. I'm in the UK by the way. I went to see my GP today. I got my meds switched. He asked me if I was self-harming. I am. He wants me to talk to my therapist and will check if I have when I see him next week. Logically I know I...

Hi Guys I wondered if anyone knew of any specific writing exercises for dealing with trauma? Specifically abuse and SA trauma? I've tried googling and nothing really specific comes up. I'm into art therapy and illustrative journalling (where you take a quote or a specific sentence you've...

Hi all, I think I must be going insane, I've tried googling this and got nowhere so I thought I'd join up and ask you guys. Last night I was feeling hyper anxious, the slightest thing was setting me off, I was running around using avoidance techniques and hyper stressed with the effort of...
