Thank you for kind words! They are helpful by themselves?

Hello friends! ? They call us weird and freaks, those who like drama and acting out, those who go numb and freeze, never realising it is not our about choice but constant mode of survival. When the body is detached from your mind, when you try hard to see another world through cognitive...

Proceeding with the therapy. It works well. It seems as a big portion of mess has been finally integrated properly in my mind. Free as never before)) I will surely describe the full process one day. There is a big hope I'll be normal)

Yes,like said before, wait till you can proceed with the therapy. As soon as your stabilasation phase is over you can go into supressed memories(if they are). And do not think we sound boring... just trying to warn you. i spent many months for stabilastaion and then for couple of EMDR sessions...

No I would say it's vica versa in my case. "She" is much better than me. Well...of course I understand it is still me but that is a confident pretty woman who is looking at ugly clumsy child.

Hmmm...you mean it is quite ok to feel myself inside but not feel any connection with image in the mirror?

I rarely look in the mirror but when I go past it I feel like there is a woman staring at me. What is that? I don't think its a depersonalasation, I feel it another way when I experience it. Can it be smth with cognitive distortions? Because for me how I feel inside and how I look is...

If I could I would Switch off my brain and have a rest And if only I had a family.

I managed to be resistent to most of my triggers but when I spend a lot of time with my child I go numb. Especially when he offers his games. What's that? Does anyone have this issue?

I have it too. And mostly it is activated when i hear compliments. I have two hypothesis. Either "I don't deserve to hear it and be happy"belief, so i must be punished or it is a coping strategy for soothing strong emotions (I feel the same exhausted after bad and good emotions,so it's a way...

If I understand your question right, you dont understand why she used to reassure you and now she doesn't do it. That makes you feel worse. Just yesterdsy i had this situation as well. My T explained it as when a person is making progress you should go forward and the next step is not to...

EMDR has brought the first results. I had believed there is another explanation of my unexplainable feelings in body but no. I came back to that age, forgotten names appeared, pictures seen. My state became worse. All work done seem to have disappeared. My reactions to everything is...

Yea...abuse is considered to be normal, and I'm abnormal freak. A lot of work has been done to exchange these issues and call them by its true names It is called schema of defectivnness. One of core beliefs. Among all the techniques the one when I had to split to a child, parent, husband...

I have not read the whole thread perhaps it will be doubled. It is not PTSD that makes us verbally abusive. It is a coping strategy. If you had learnt to react like that you will do it and that is really hard (i talk about myself)to change your response. So PTSD makes us feel the same (hurt and...

Thanks people! I have just watched trailers of some movies . Look exactly what I need! Thsnks?

Well..it it is my fault that i haven't explained it properly. I want movies that possibly could give me the feeling of warmth and home. There are no a lot of memories from my childhood and I'm like numb when i don't have to struggle. My T says to do smth playful but I dont know what to do...

Hello friends, I havent watched a lot of movies, always thought it was a waste of time. Now I m struggligling to find some things that can make me feel smth because have little ideas how to entertain myself. The films that I liked were mostly for puzzling my brain or studying Engilsh. So Could...

When i feel up

music with bilateral stimulation and imagining how i separate my thoughts from my brain (i imagine it vividly) and they are as pieces of paper lying under me and im just looking at them and decide to pick up one and follow it(but usually there are only bad thuoghts so i imagine how i create a...

This word-combinatiian is a huge trigger to me. It makes me very angrily defensive. Gosh....need time to calm down But thanks for bringing this issue. I'm not alone.

Oh! Great that you started this topic. This relates to me too. And my T always insists that I just do not "catch" a trigger bit actually I'm just a super trigger hunter already and there are really episodes when there is no any trigger and you just switch off when you are just stressed with...

Could anybody expalin to me the contradiction or i didn't understand it correctly(English is not my native): "…. that dopamine is central in causing behavior related to the avoidance of specific threats. Animals with high levels of dopamine in this brain region learned to avoid a shock more...

You gave it a good word- a dance. Most people do really see it as a game or dance when the one moment you are sweet and close and in a second you are already running away. How my trust issues have reduced? Well, it wasnt the best way i believe, but it lowered much when the situation which i...

i was trying to understad the reason of my vague disssociations as well, i worked out with many core beliefs but still there left the episodes when i became nothing. and it appered it is connected with abandonment issues. Sometimes they are very evident and then i experience high points of...
