I get nervous and I start to dissociate and then I go numb. Can't even get close, and I don't understand it because I have heard from so many people that have had it worse than me. How can I be such a baby?
Did I also mention that I consistently invalidate myself too....
I have told my therapist about these things that have happened to me. I stated them matter of factly, skirted by them, and just moved on. I have never been able to really deal with the emotion of it all. I have never been able to get there.
I question whether I will ever be able to.
This is all I can say about this right now....

You are NOT a baby! It's hard work to get to the feelings. Your pain is just as big as anyone's. Please don't invalidate or minimize your experiences. You are important.
You will be able to get in to this with your T. It takes time, and trust and lots of patience. It will happen.
