    Failing Therapy.

    You are so kind. Thank you for this back and forth conversation of sorts. I am thinking of trying to find another person, but no. As of now, I won't be starting fresh with someone else. I really like my current therapist. She is an awesome person and we get along well. What's missing is...

    Failing Therapy.

    Sorry! My answer then doesn't line up at all to what you said. I am glad you are working through everything and have a great therapist! I have 2 months left with mine then I am forced out, so I might just do the emdr and go. I only got the two months because ethically she couldn't discharge me...

    Failing Therapy.

    Hi! Yes, my therapist and I have talked that possibility through as well. I mean, it makes complete sense. When you aren't used to having those feeling, like you purposefully maintained a state of not having them, to have them is scary. However, no one has been able to say how to get past that...

    Failing Therapy.

    I absolutely love this so much. It's brilliant. Thank you. I have tried some versions of it I suppose, but never so intentional and connecting to it in other places. I have driven to therapy before thinking "this is serious, I can do this, I need to make this work". But if I can connect to it...

    Failing Therapy.

    @NightSky - As much as I hate hearing that you are going through this also... It makes me feel just a bit better to know it is not just me. I do all of those things! I have been with my therapist for 1 1/2-2 years. As a person she is excellent, but I am not entirely sure I made the right choice...

    Failing Therapy.

    For quite awhile now I have been failing therapy. I go in and when the conversation gets tough I become anxious and laugh too much, throw a joke, become sarcastic, or just have no idea what to say. I have been through CPT and failed that miserably. Then my therapist said we would try 2 months of...

    Therapist Is Unreliable. Am I Too Dependent?

    I know I had a long response above, but I reread your initial post and I want to add something... I thought the same thing about becoming overly dependent on my therapist. Why would her cancelling throw me off if I wasn't too dependent? Why should this matter... she is a professional doing her...

    Therapist Is Unreliable. Am I Too Dependent?

    As I read the initial post I couldn't believe it... I could have written it myself! I could never have imagined it isn't just my therapist that does this! My therapist has been inconsistent and unreliable since week 1. At first I thought it was a fluke, but it wasn't. I can say that for sure 2...

    Sufferer Abused & assaulted & misunderstood by the people around me

    Hi all, I am new here and hoping I made the right choice joining. I am a survivor of multiple assaults and abuse. I have been working on "healing" and trying to improve my ptsd for a little over two years now. It seems to be getting worse instead of better. What brought me here was this...
