I just wanted to say I can really relate to that, in my session w/T yesterday I really struggled b/c I WANTED to dissociate, I didn't want to talk about or more importantly FEEL the things I was feeling, so it was hard. But she does recognize my beginning to dissociate & kept gently telling me how important it was to keep my eyes open & stay present, to not "go away".

I told her I wanted to let go of how I was feeling, she said "let it go, or push it away?" and I said "just get away from it" And that exchange, taking that moment to think about it, brought me back quite a bit.

it's so hard, and it does help to know other people struggle with the same things, although I wish none of us did
