I’m really curious too if other people have done this! I’ve thought about drinking a glass of wine in the parking lot before going in to help calm my nerves. I mentioned it to a friend who is a T and she said ethically they’re not supposed to treat clients when they’re impaired. I’m not sure if...

I see my T twice a week (Mon & Wed) and every other Mon I do a double session. I get WAY more out of the double sessions and my T and I both prefer them by far. I was scared to ask for it too, but he didn’t think anything of it when I did. As far as payment, my insurance only covers the first...

I really struggle when my T leaves too. It’s an awful feeling and I’m sorry you’re in this place right now. My T doesn’t email back (he has his admin text me to let me know he got it). He makes sure I have crisis hotline numbers in advance, so I “can’t” even contact him in an emergency (I mean...

I love this thread! It’s funny...I’ve been fuming at my T all morning for something he said yesterday (he was right and I hate him for being right of course). Thinking about this definitely calmed me down! I appreciate so much about my T. He is a TROOPER for sticking this out with me. He is...

This made me laugh...my husband is the SAME with his guitar. He likes to fiddle around with it while watching tv too, but that became an issue between us as well. :)

Could you post the link here (or direct me to it)? I’d like to watch it too.

I believe there are...I’m still getting the hang of this too! Thanks for reaching out and saying hi! Welcome to you too!

Hello! I’ve been on here for several months mostly just reading posts, but I’m hoping to be a part of the community now if you’ll have me. So many of your posts have been really encouraging to me...I’m hoping I can be of encouragement to some of you too! I was diagnosed with cptsd last July...

I brought Uno with me and as soon as I plopped down on the couch I said, “Can we play Uno?” He was very taken aback, but he agreed and it’s become a normal thing for us now. I was SUPER nervous to ask the first time because I thought it might be weird or he might say no, but I looked at it as an...

Sometimes my T and I play Uno while we talk. It’s been super helpful for me, especially when disclosing some harder, grosser stuff. It’s nice knowing he’s not looking at me 100% of the time! And it adds a few lighter moments (like when one of us calls out Uno) in a really dark, difficult...

Making a list of self care activities to keep on hand...that's a great idea! I'm going to work on my list tomorrow. Thanks!!

My T also has a no touch policy with me because of the nature of my trauma. When I get that feeling of wanting to be held, I ask him if he will sit closer and he scoots his chair right up beside me. The closeness helps. Sometimes he will pat the couch. I ask him to explain in those moments why...

Hey everyone! I'm new here and this is my first time posting. I've been seeing my T for 2.5 months (2-3x/week) and my attachment to him is extremely strong. I hate how dependent I feel, but he keeps telling me it's at a healthy level. Anyway, he is on his honeymoon for the next week and I'll...
