I hope it's ok to post.It was so hard yesterday. I went to volunteering yesterday and the facilitator asked me how I was but I didn't want to talk about anything so changed the subject and asked her about her puppy (she knows I have PTSD, have flashbacks and can't be alone with men) We set up...

I am glad it's helping you, although I am so sorry you had to experience all that. I don't know much about person centred therapy but been told it's recommend for sexual trauma.

Hi, I've been having psychodynamic therapy for the last two years and absolutely hate it. My team mentioned EMDR but after an assessment, didn't think I was stable enough. Someone recommende person centred therapy. Am I right in thinking this is often used to support those who have been...

Hi, I am quite anxious about posting this but I'll try my best. I've been volunteering at a mindfulness course. I haven't been participating in the short meditations as I have PTSD and worried it will trigger a flashback. The facilitator (a trained counsellor) noticed how I don't join in and I...

Thank you for the kind words. Does anyone have any tips on talking about really hard things in therapy? I have a wonderful Psychologists who knows the general gist of my past but I am finding it very hard to vocalise things. I want to talk but there's a voice in my head telling me not to talk...

Thank you for replying. Yes, my Psych and I are working on some coping techniques and I may book in to see my GP in the time she's away. She's away for two weeks so I'll miss 4 sessions which I guess isn't long. It is okay to be finding therapy so hard? I've been reassured that it's all at my...

Hi, Yes, I'm asking whether past trauma can cause long term pelvic pain.

Thank you so much for both taking the time to reply. Is it a normal response to shake in therapy? I think I had lost touch at this point but when my Psych brought me back round, I realise I was shaking and today have really bad muscle ache.

I have been under CAMHS/out-reach teams and eating disorder services since the age of 13. I am now 23 and see a private psychologist twice a week. My parents both had cancer when I was younger – my dad when I was about 7 years old and my mum when I was around 10. My Mum was at the hospital a...

Thank you. I don't want to start a new thread and take up space. I feel very exhausted today. I think I lost touch in therapy yesterday and my therapist had to bring me back around; asking me to name the colours in the painting in the room, tell her what was on the desk, put both feet on floor...

Hi, I've been on constant pain relief (codeine) for about 3 years. It was initially prescribed for Endometriosis but even after my operations, I carried on taking it. My GP and Psychologist think a lot of the pain I experience in my pelvis is from past trauma. Can this happen? Is it normal to...

Hi, I'm new here so quite nervous about positing. I don't really know where to start and I'm quite scared to post.

Thank you so much for making me feel welcome.

Hi, I've been in therapy since I was 13, but I've been working with my current therapist since last August and I have been seeing her once a week, and from February this year, I've been seeing her twice a week. Prior to seeing my current therapist, no one apart from my GP knew about the past...
