    So, I went out last night. I was responsible with my alcohol intake but I still took in a heck of a lot of sugar and this morning wham bam thank you ma'am - I start my period. It's probably been one of my most intense ones I've had in a long ass time so it's really swept me off my feet. It...

    Was this ethical of my (ex)therapist?

    Hey all, I hope you're doing well I was recently terminated by surprised, through email, then ghosted by my now ex therapist. It completely blindsided me but looking back, it was the best thing that could have happened for me. There were a fair amount of red flags. But the red flag I'm ultra...

    My hw for this week feels brutal

    Just a short rant because I was asked to write my therapist a letter to answer the questions "What was I taught about happiness and how to make my own happiness?" And the letter has to be broken down by ages - infancy, toddler, child (pre-teen). So I'm answering the questions for each of those...

    Desperately need help/encouragement "buying into" EMDR

    Apologies if this has been discussed before I've been trying to engage in DBT for the last 6 ish months, with "little to no progress" as my T just said today.

    I don't know what I'm doing but I need to put this down somewhere

    I've always had really "in my face" trauma nightmares - so graphic and psychologically disturbing. That's not news. But on Friday night leading into Saturday, I had the most obvious flashback nightmares I've ever had. Down to almost the exact anniversary of the trauma I had dreamed about. I...

    How can you tell when you need to ask your T for an extra session?

    Hey again besties, Basically as the title suggests. I had a session today with my therapist and my SO for a 3 month treatment plan review.

    Feelings of bitterness towards new therapist

    Apologies in advance if this has been discussed before, I searched to make sure but I could have easily missed. So I'm not sure if this would count as a question or more of a discussion, but I've recently had to switch therapists. I was seeing Person A for almost 2 years when they decided to...
