I Finally Started Talking In Therapy

[Auburngirl]

It may sound minor but I'm really thrilled. Up to now I've been dissociating nearly constantly and so communication has been extremely limited. I feel like I'm finally starting to get somewhere, and that I'm on the road headed in a positive direction.

Great job..... Keep up the good work, no matter how big or how small, as long as you continue to push forward you will have a better outcome.

Oh My Gosh.

Good for you!!!!!!

OK, so how did you do it? Please share!

Dissociation is a bit of a problem for me. I'm learning to identify and override it, but it's a bit hit & miss.

Do tell.

Hi Awakening- I think time is probably a real factor. Also, I mentioned how extremely frustrated I was with not being able to communicate, and so we started focusing on that. Dissociation is still a problem- don't get me wrong, but I was present more than not.

Your so brave to even go to therapy. I am hoping to get the courage up to do that soon. Congrates Auburngirl!!!!

Good for you, Auburngirl. The more I talked about my stuff the easier I found it as time went on. Hang in there!

Good for you. It feels good to have a breakthrough doesn't it? I wish you the very best in the future too. Keep up the good work!

 

[Auburngirl]

Thanks you guys! It's not easy, but the feeling of forward movement is pretty great... And I figure if I can now talk about things, then it must be at least possible to talk about things, which it wasn't before, at then they'll start to get better.

A little trust goes a long way!
Congradulations!

:poke:I still have trouble with talking and I am new here. Is this what disasocitating means? I have little or no trust in nobody. I am scared.

Way to go!

That's wonderful, Auburngirl. Every step, however small, in a positive direction is significant! They all take you closer to where you want to be.
