    Looking for advice / help - flashbacks while asleep?

    That's interesting. I have spoken to gp about this a couple of times, but they always try to blame it on meds (pain killers & antihistamines) even though I said it's happened before I started taking them. They just say to stick at it with T. I might see if w can make any more progress, if not...

    Looking for advice / help - flashbacks while asleep?

    Aye, I know we may end up having to move on. I've had it for add long as I can remember so I get the feeling it may have happened when I was very young, and I know this can make it more difficult / impossible to recall. I also have a problem that, for me, touch and imagery tends to be more...

    Looking for advice / help - flashbacks while asleep?

    Ugh. I'm trying to reply but on my phone this site is awful and full of ads :-( Lucid dreaming doesn't work with this one. I can't see anything in the dream, and I've never been able to make make myself open my eyes. It sounds a lot like the night terror. The sleep deprivation is murder.

    Looking for advice / help - flashbacks while asleep?

    Hi. The reason I'm not sure if this is the right place is because I'm not sure if it's a PTSD symptom, but that's what I hope to find out. I've been working with my therapist recently on a reoccurring nightmare /sleep terror I have had for as long as I can remember. However it doesn't feel like...

    Do You Tell Your Therapist How Bad You Feel?

    I use drawings and notes to communicate during sessions (still not able to open up verbally) and over the last few sessions my plan to 'dispatch' myself has cropped up. It has even been vocalised by myself in passing but I feel like my T is ignoring if despite it's increasing prevalence in my...

    Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

    This went down really well, T agreed that this is a healthy approach for both of us, then we had a little giggle over me making him work for it. @SheilaKathy I dunno if I want to know too much about my T outside our space. If I found out he was really an arse I'd find it rather distracting.

    That is what i've been doing but somehow this approch got noticed and T was understanding but a little hurt that I'm not TOTALLY open. Decided to talk about why so T inderstands and doesn't think i'm just being akward. Ill let y'all know how it goes tomo night.

    Responses To Your Therapist That You Will Probably Never Say

    I'd like to first say that I get on fairly well with my therapist. Last week he gave me permission to tell him to 'shut up'. This means some of the things I've wanted to say but have been repressing I can happily say aloud. Eg. I had a chest infection in our last session and I commented that my...
