Calling out to anybody in Musical Theatre/Theatre/Dance - I"M STUCK! I don't know how to heal fast enough to be able to take my own trauma out of the work. I'm doing a monologue about a woman speaking to her rapist and saying 5 years from now, you won't control me and I will have moved on...

I'm looking for some creative ways to heal. I'm not the best with words, nor do I like to write things down and have any evidence of it, but I really want to find what works for me. I sing, but I'm not a songwriter, I dance but am not a choreographer, and I'm not great at art. Is there...

I think my therapist thinks that I just get anxious with hygiene- before brushing my teeth, showering (she doesn't even know about washing my hands or anything else), but what she doesn't know is that I don't do these things. - I only brush my teeth when I feel really gross or have somewhere...

"One, I think PTSD often comes with the shame of how we are(or aren't) handling things in our lives. It shouldn't be that way, because objectively, this is mental illness. If you had physical illness, you would expect that there are certain things you just don't have the capacity to do at...

UPDATE! NOT SURE IF EVERYONE IN THE THREAD GETS NOTIFICATIONS FOR THIS OR NOT. I TOLD MY THERAPIST. I mean the only thing I said at the end of our session was, "Hygiene" (referring to the giant mysterious thing we've been surfacing over for the past couple of months of something that I...

Thanks, that definitely helps. the sticker chart sounds cool, i like to make charts like that! and I love stickers (who doesn't?) And, the self care aspect also sounds lovely. I've started putting on cream after my showers, but the comfy bathrobe sounds like a good idea too! Thanks so much xo

I've been trying to figure this out for a while, myself now. My brother used to call it the "I dare you game". I think him being 2 years older than me, he knew exactly what he was doing, but i was 9 and had no clue. I just thought since he was older that it must be okay. But @Ragdoll Circus I...

Thanks for sharing. Yeah I haven't quite uncovered the reason behind it. But hoping to once I build up the courage to talk about it, I have an appt with the therapist tomorrow so hopefully after getting everyone's insight and realizing that I'm not alone on this, I'll be able to tell her. She...

I actually chuckled a bit to that partner thing- because I've said the same thing forever. It's scary and thinking about a future living my life this way would turn off anybody...

thanks for all your words and insight. I text my parents MeowMeow too :)

I I think that's a thing to, I'm not entirely sure what it's linked to and I want to find out what it is so that I can work past it.

thank you so much for sharing. Means a lot, and I will definitely be taking all of this into consideration. :)

wow, thank you so much for sharing. It's so nice to know I'm not alone with this. I think this page will definitely help me gain confidence in opening up.

yeah, she knows I want to tell her this thing but I can't figure out how to. It's really bad. I'm ashamed, so I can only imagine how she'd react and if she'd think down upon me.

Hi, So I'm new to this site. I want to share something that I've never shared with anyone before in detail and I'm doing this because I really want to tell my therapist this and work through things but I'm really embarrassed to and was hoping other people could relate or give me tips on how to...
