Help On Concerning Question

Thank you, and it's his problem if he dosn't want to associate with me. What I actually did was to give my T a view point of what I was going through. cause i told him I didn't want his sympathy. I was tired of people feeling sorry for me. I just wanted a bit of understanding. I also explained the cup theory, along with how it feels to be triggered. Thats when he started saying how intelligent I was. What better way for them to know exactly what your treatment plan is than to give them your perspective.

One thing that might make sense is he started acting differently when I told him about a rampage my parents went on, full blown rage. How I hid and cowered, and said I want to "go home". though I was at home that was the first time I dissociated. And thanks for your opinions.
 
I know I have bombarded you with questions but it can be important to look at all these things to discover how and why we feel what we do.

Abstract: I don't really understand. But if you mean by triggers, Your feeling the same emotions you were suposed to feel at the time of the trauma. Our brains didn't register those feelings back then. But, when reminded of that trauma, and in a safer place, you'll feel those same feelings as if it were just occuring. Correct me if I got the wrong impression of your question.
 
Hi Pheniox!

Sorry. I meant that I hoped all my questions had not made you feel uncomfortable. And that sometimes it can help to discuss and investigate why we feel certain ways. yes, you are wise and sometimes it is feelings from the past that we feel. Its just a matter of figuring out if that is what is happening or if what we feel isnt about the past and is about what is happening right now. Both are important. I hope that makes some sense.

I think that you dissociated when you discussed your parents terrifying rampage is very telling. I am sure you will work this out and find out what is best for you in this T relationship.
 
Actually your correct on both points. Your feeling the feelings of the past in your current situation, and are going to react the same as in the past but also react accordingly to the current situation. It makes a connection to your past in your current situation.
