Hi guys. It’s been a while. Hope you’re all doing ok? I don’t really know why I’ve been gone for so long, guess i wanted to try and figure some things out for myself. Therapy is going better, even my therapist has said something has shifted over the last few weeks because I’m being so much...

I've been thinking about what I want to write up for therapy. I've already wrote a lot up, I'm doing my best to be more open. So I've wrote about childhood, my ex, little ones dad and ED stuff. A thought I had last night was something that was happening when I 15/16....and had the thought "wow...

Hi guys, so I was pretty down about the whole therapy thing but I've woken up with a new perspective, kind of. Although I don't have people in real life, apart from my therapist...I have you guys and the support I've had on theese groups has been amazing and I can't thank you guys enough 💖 I...

Tough session today. I was initially going to skip therapy this week as I was put down to work mon-thurs, as I'm off fri, sat, sun and next mon but I took it off as a sick day and asked Charlotte for a session. You know when you just feel exhausted in all ways, physically, mentally, emotionally...

Had session this morning. I told her how I had checked my ex's profile....his sister popped up on my FB memories, a pic of the 3 of us and I guess curiosity got the best of me and I looked to see what he was upto. It made me feels lots of different things. I mentioned it to therapist, not...

I'm not really sure why but recently, the issues with food have started again. I'm not eating anywhere near enough, considering my job is so physical.....I work in a boarding kennels, so on my feet all day and so much walking. I'm eating cereal and yogurt for the day and that's it. I went to a...

It's looking a lot like the police aren't going to proceed with anything about what I told them.

I'm struggling a lot, without my therapist. There has been a 2 week break and I still have to wait until Tues to talk to her. This is all so hard 💔😭

I've just done something a little random and I don't know if I've made a mistake. My whole career has been in Animal Care. I'm a qualified veterinary nurse and dog groomer. I currently work at a boarding kennels. Due to being in trauma therapy myself, I've kind of been interested in maybe...

I've been feeling pretty disconnected from myself recently. There is just so much going on with their dad and having police involvement (nothing to do with our children), my friend, my friends kids v my kids, working and a 2 week break from therapy. This life is hard right now 😞 I don't really...

Had my therapy earlier. I sent over what I needed to and we spoke about it and the way I don't want any kind of physical intimacy. She asked if I thought I was asexual, I said "I don't know, maybe" and it just made me think. I've gone from one end of the spectrum to the other. From...

I have a session in the morning and anxiety is high about it. I have written it all out but I'm not 100% I'm going to send it. It's something I've wanted to go into for a while but it's so personal and I feel awkward. I'm not even sure how she could help anyway but maybe still good to talk...

I was at the Drs yesterday. My Dr is lovely and I wouldn't see anyone but her but I still came away from it feeling uneasy. Wondering whether they could see the sexual abuse disclosure, th spiking incident last Aug and things that have happened with children's dad (not that I told them but my...

Session in morning and I will bring it up with her too but thought I'd ask on here too. What's your thought on AI journaling V's traditional? I mean, I don't journal using pen and paper....I use notes on my phones but have seen ads for AI journaling and think that might be helpful too....you...

Session this morning and it was a good one, I feel more positive about it. We've made it more structured. First 5 mins for a quick "how was your week" 10 mins grounding exercises, 30 mins to talk about whatever I need to and then last 5 mins for recap/ goodbyes. She has given me some breathing...

This morning session didn't quiet go as I thought it would. She said because of how dissociated/shut down I was during last session, she doesn't think I'm ready....but jeez, when will I ever be ready?! She wants to pause trauma work and spend the next couple of weeks going over grounding/coping...

How do you deal with intimacy in a relationship, when it's literally the last thing you'd like. I honestly couldn't think of anything worse. I know it's an important part of a relationship, so I kind of want to work on it. Just don't know how

My therapist has asked that I read up on dissociation and I'm kind of glad she did, so I can understand it better. I often dissociate mid session and even out of session there are things that, thinking back on, maybe dissociation too? So maybe you guys can help me clarify? I've had it where I...

I've had my session this morning and I think it was a good one. A hard one, but a good one. I sent alot over to her via email before it. I actually feel ok. Maybe this dissociation thing isn't so bad 🙈 She brought it up, how I dissociated at one point and I need to be able to keep myself present...

I've recently started self harming. It was something I did when I was much younger and I stopped. There's so much to it all. I'm currently in trauma therapy and my therapist is amazing but it's hard for me to talk about trauma, so I keep it all inside but because it came up in session on...

Had session this morning and it was ok...We spoke about the house move etc and then it came up about her being off next week, a week in and then because she's on hol then I'm on hol...there will be a 4 week gap in sessions, she asked how I felt about it and I just burst in to tears 🙈 she asked...

I don't really feel like I'm doing so great. Just a bit sad/tearful. I haven't brushed my hair properly since last sat and my friend has said she'll help me sort it but I feel embarrassed 😔 it's a bit if a mess. I don't know if it's knowing I don't have a session this week that has made me feel...

What do you think it is to be self aware in therapy. I have this long email to send my therapist and I've wrote how I feel like I'm pretty self aware, because I do....but what does that mean to you? Would you guys say I was pretty self aware too?

What's your view on how far you should push yourself in therapy? I obviously know that none of it is going to be easy but with me....We start on a subject... spend 1, maybe 2 sessions on it, I will decide it's too hard and ask to stop and we move to something else. So, I did it when it came to...

So, overall I'm still doing pretty ok but I Remember a while ago I made a post about waking suddenly from sleep to my heart racing. That settled for a while but has recently started again but it only happens when I stay at my friends house. I stayed last sat and it happened then and again last...
