Sufferer This Will Probably Confuse Ya'll As Much As I Am

@Dixiedakota Welcome to the forum! :)

I am sorry to read about the loss of your companion and there are times that one more loss causes things to snap. The thing is none of what happened was your fault as you were a child and it was up to the adults to protect you and not victimize you. Guilt and shame are hard burdens to bear and not the burdens you should be carrying.

Do you have a trauma therapist? I hope you find the support here helps as you work on healing.

@Dixiedakota Welcome to the forum! :)

I am sorry to read about the loss of you...

I do have a therapist, infact, my appt is in about an hour. I've only been using her about a month now as I am new to this area. I am not sure yet that she is the right one for me. She seems to be all over the board and though she is very nice and personable I never leave feeling as if anything was ever accomplished. I'm not sure how long I should give a therapist before throwing in the towel and moving on to someone else?? Maybe thats a question I should post in another forum to get advice?

I think a month is long enough to know if you're going to "click" with a therapist or not, maybe not getting into trauma work directly but you'd be able to sense whether she really gets you and whether you're able to work with her.

There's a forum on here for therapy where you'll find folk who have various experiences of therapy but you'll also get replies here so it's all good.

Welcome to the forum! I'm so sorry to hear about your special friend. The death of a pet is so devastating. I second @twinkle30 's advice about volunteering at a shelter. Finding a new dog that you connect with could be so helpful.
