My T wants me to talk about the trauma so that I have narrative. I agree this would potentially be helpful, although I do think I have a narrative in my head already, I just haven’t spoken about it to anyone, so I’m not sure that doing that would be any more helpful. Main issue though is that I...

During a therapy session I was focusing on an event in the past week where I had felt terror. T had asked me what I believed about myself in that moment. Is this what my core belief would be? Anyway, I told her that it was that ‘I can’t advocate for myself’. But actually it wasn’t that and I...

One of the traumas I experienced has to do with a particular profession. It's been years since, avoidance was working well for me. But now, I am unable to avoid this profession to the point new people who work in this profession are iny life and house every week day. Everytime they come my...

Does anyone know how to stop your hands shaking when triggered? Sometimes I don't even know why I'm shaking, I can't stop it.

Getting sensations when almost falling asleep. Don't know what it is flashback, dissociation etc...I'm worrying that it's a hallucination or something. Sometimes it happens when awake as well. It's exactly the same as a feeling during a trauma.It only lasts for a few seconds before I shut it...
