Minime,

I know you didn't ask this, but it is something that I am wondering. Could it be with all therapy you do which is unbelievably hard work, especially the EMDR, that the group is just too much. It would be for me to be honest especially all the others stuff I have going on.
I think I would be hurt too if I didn't feel heard in a group. There are always people in every kind of group that seeks the attention of everyone, I am sure therapy groups are no different. Those people are truly annoying. lol

Are you getting anything out of this group? Maybe it isn't the best use of your time?

As for the girl who laughs about her very serious stuff, I have a feeling the laughter is pain, many people express this in very different ways. You seem to hold your stuff in like anger, etc. and other people do other things. I don't self harm or anything, but when I feel uncomfortable in social situations, I do laugh too. I think it is the body's natural way of trying to calm itself.

I think you are doing such good work Minime! But would you be better off without this group and maybe do some quiet time for yourself to give yourself a chance to relax or pamper? You do deserve that and treating yourself is healing too.
