I have something to share and I’m hoping for some feedback, advice on how to address this and anything else anyone is willing to offer! I’ve recently been told by my therapist of many years that I will need to be referred out. This was framed as an insurance thing— but, I know it’s not that...

Has anyone been given the MID- full version? If so, why did your provider choose to administer it?

Hi all, I’ve had some pretty recent triggers lately and it’s made it impossible to stay present. I’ve found that I’m being pulled into my head more and more. The noise is so loud and I’ve had no success communicating because I am angry and ashamed. I don’t know what to do and my T said that they...

I guess I have a lot to say... or ask lately. But, does anyone have any advice related to accepting your parts and/or sharing that you have parts with your therapist? We have been exploring this for a while in therapy but haven't been willing or able to accept it. Parts have been resistant and...

How do we share memories that surface due to communication from different parts of ourselves? I’ve been flooded recently by these images, feelings and almost story-like memories of abuse that on some level I know happened… on another level, it doesn’t feel like me. I don’t know how to bring it...

Hello all, I am here to vent and express some concern related to an abuser from my childhood returning to live close by while his father is on hospice care. This individual was incredibly damaging to my childhood and it’s stirred up a lot of emotions / memories within my system. I’m not sure how...

Tough session. Tough to describe what losing control feels like.

How does everyone schedule with their therapist? Do you see them weekly, no-weekly, monthly. I’m curious! My therapist has been scheduling me like three weeks out but I’m too embarrassed to ask to check in more frequently. I’m pretty dissociative but I do feel I’d be more productive with closer...

Hi everyone, back again. Sadly, I’ve been experiencing some pretty extreme symptoms and I feel like I’m struggling to hang on. But, I know I’ll be okay.. it’s just hard now. To start- my father is my abuser. And he has continued to deny his role in my history up until this point. I recently...

How do folks share memories with their therapist? Are you talking them out? Joirnaling? Emailing? My issue is how sporadic and overwhelming my memories are. I don’t know what to do when they just kinda show up! As always, just looking for insight!

Hey everyone- hope all is well. Popping on here to share some shame around going back to therapy after a dissociative episode. I don’t have much continuity with sessions, I only recall I’ve had them because I’ve seen the email reminders in my inbox. It’s three or four sessions spanning two...

My therapist has been asking about what it is I need from myself or what I can give myself to find more control… only, so much of this feels out of my control. Meaning the dissociation… I think if I knew how to fix or control it I would. So, I don’t know what to tell her. I mean, I know I’m not...

Hi there, does anyone else notice a correlation between overwhelming thoughts, feelings and somatic symptoms and a specific time of the year? I recently found some old journals and without fail.. every year around the same time I am expressing the same exact symptoms, concerns and experiences...

Anyone else have a therapist that often reminds you that you are now an adult? Trying to figure out if this is done to support grounding— as an anchor to the present or what. I find it to be invalidating at times. Especially when a child part of me is seeking reassurance or understanding! Just...

My therapist moved away several years ago. At the time I didn’t address my feelings around it at all. It was a crazy period of time and we stayed connected online and life moved on. Recently, a part of me is really struggling with trust and I don’t know if it’s crazy for me to bring this up or...

I have a complex trauma history. Sexual abuse… emotional neglect. The list goes on- I’ve been working with the same therapist for over 5 years. They’re so helpful and yet part of me doesn’t trust them. I mentioned this in session recently but what I really mean I’m not trusting is that I’m...
