Coping

[Amg]

This is probably a silly question but would it be possible for me to come up with my own coping strategies for coping with rape and the trauma \PTSD that rape causes

There are no silly questions here, promise.

I'm not understanding your question tho. Are you asking if you can do this without therapy or help?

 

[Amg]

Yes. I'm asking if I can do it without help or therapy.My therapist says its possible to come up with skills

Everyone's journey is their own. Personally, I can't do this without therapy. My T helps me come up with skills and helps me to make connections with things.

I think there are coping skills that anyone can learn without a T.

Depends what you want out of recovery?

You have a T, are you wanting to stop seeing them and do this without them?

 

[Amg]

My t has helped me come up with some skills. But I also think coming up with my own skills can be helpful as well

What kinds of coping skills do you have in mind?

 

[Amg]

Like for body memories,flashbacks... Basically anything related to rape\trauma\ptsd

 

[ladee]

Sure!! It's very empowering to be able to create our own coping skills. As longs you aren't self harming, go for it!

I did, my first time around.

My second, I decided not to reinvent the wheel.
