Ok, last reply as I feel like im talking to myself and beating a dead horse (I always hated that phrase) but per my therapist the re-readung threads to "prove how horrible I am" is running back to my comfort zone. So thats a good thing because it means im challeging it and pushing at the comfort zone. When im so far outside of it and emotions become too much I run back there every time.
The work thing was just being in the mist of strong emotions, i was hyper sensitive and it also triggered me and brought me back to my past.
Im gonna start reading Risin' Strong by Berne Brown...the book I got for Xmas but havent even started it yet...before i go back to the PTSD sourcebook but my therapist made it very clear that EMDR is soon (we didnt have time today) and though it terrifies me because of what happened the last time, he said that it will make thise super intense emotions that im terrified to go near not so intense.
He said not to try to force emotions and thoughts to pass yet because when they dont pass then i just get frustrated at myself. Risin' Strong is a softer book for now and he said it would be a better fit for where im at right now...he read it after i got it for Xmas and told him about it lol.
I stay stuck in the DBT book but if i rotate the 3, hopefully i get through all 3. But dyslexia and books :wtf:!
