After effects of therapy

[whiteraven]

Yep me too

Oh, I could never go to work. I schedule my sessions on a day when I'm off and I usually go to the bookstore after - my happy place. I can wander around aimlessly for however long I want until whoever is upset inside (or I) settle down.

I really wanted to have time off after therapy. Especially, on emdr days or the day after talk therapy days, but neither of our schedules will allow it. This Wednesday, I am going to have to go straight to teaching after emdr. At least clarinet is grounding, but it is still awful. Most weeks I get an hour to sit by the lake or look at the channel on my way to work. I prefer that.

My sessions are after work so I go home and medicate with cannabis to stop the inner critic from tearing apart my session. I usually have a panic attack at some point over the following 24-48 hours. I am more likely to fight with my spouse during the first few days. I am more motivated to learn about CPTSD in the days after therapy.
