I'm having some trouble talking during therapy lately. Again. Specifically, when we are talking about trauma, certain details, parts of the narrative, get stuck in my throat and won't come out.
I've found myself sort of practicing saying these things, the last few nights as I'm laying in bed waiting for sleep. I guess I think maybe if I can say them out loud at all, even all alone in my apartment, it will make it easier to repeat them out loud in Ts office.
I have to admit, I've fallen asleep before I got very far in the exercise. Maybe that's part of it, I get up to the details and then I go away in my head and fall asleep. It still feels like kind of practice for therapy, though.
