Spoke to therapist this morning, it went well and I found it really helpful. We spoke about my struggles to talk etc and she mentioned about a shut down / destabilization and what kind of things could be helpful and I feel like she really listens to me.
She touched back on the last session because I'd said something about feeling like I'm not being believed because she kept asking questions but that was silly of me to think because I'm the one that said questions would be easier
She also went back to the fact that talking over the phone has ots negative and if i could see her/see her reaction to what I'm saying, then I'd know she believes me.
She would like me to practice self compassion - something I've never been very good at but I'll have to give that a go.
Have a session next week and then a 2 week break for chritsmas....not really looking forward to that 2 week break but I suppose it might be a good thing to have a break from....I don't know.
But today went good, so that's what I'm focusing on for now! Thank you all for listening to me all the time and taking time to read and respond. I don't always reply but it's much appreciated
Overall feeling pretty ok
Going to have a quick power nap now, before picking little ones up from school!
