Thank you for all of the links and replies. I am going to look at them. My new t wants me to keep a journal of things that trigger me and when I "leave" I have done it a couple of times but I find it really hard. I didnt realize how much I dont really want to notice that I do it, Id rather just do it. And I dont want to look at things that trigger me, Id rather just avoid these things. I never knew that before. So I didnt write it down. But I am going to write it out from today. And if I try to stay "present" I feel so uncomfortable and like I am going to explode and it is easier to just let it go. I tried and tried the other day to stay present when I felt things getting far away and I was listening to someone speak but it was as if she didnt speak english and I didnt understand a single word but I saw her mouth moving. Then a little while later it was fine and I was back in the room and understood what she was saying. Probably I left but Im not sure.

How can this be worked on in therapy? I really never knew this was something I could describe to my therapist. I thought it was just the way things are.

I was diagnosed with bpd and depression and Im on lexipro. This new t said something about ptsd. But I have only seen her once.

How do you work on this in therapy?
