Hope this is okay.
I posted my intro in the intro place, not sure if I have pts or ptsd.
I had an intense session with T. Anyone experienced the gestalt empty chair thing?
I refused to do it. All I could feel was an overwhelming flood of emotion, that surprised me. I didn't know it was there, I don't know who that person is. Doesn't belong to me. GRRRRRRR.:cussing:
Now even though therapy is a few days away I feel incredibly anxious and so I'm drinking. My old friend. I really don't think I can handle the intensity of these emotions.
Some things in life I can talk about and feel sad, angry whatever but this is so intense. I feel really scared. :eek:
Any advice on how to access those emotions and let them out? I want to get better, I want to release them, but my defenses kick in. How to get past this? How to feel safe in therapy?
BTW, my psychologist is great, trustworthy etc but still something holds me back.:dontknow:
