Some things I use when I'm in a fog, whatever part of me I feel like is disconnecting I will lightly scratch that area to gain feeling again and try and get my mind to stick with my body. My t also taught me a good grounding technique a couple years back. You say out loud 5 things you can see, then you say out loud 4 things you can touch. Then you say 3 things you can hear, two things you can smell and one thing you can taste. It brings back all of your senses and helps snap you back into the world. I hope you are feeling better now!!!

Thanks for the response. I will try to remember the grounding technique you have mentioned. Right now I am not sure that my t will continue to see me. I switched during session and was not pleasant. But I didn't know her. I mean I knew she was my therapist but I had no feelings of trust. I got paranoid and agitated. The t's response later made more confusing. My t says I need to trust her in order for our sessions to work. But if I barely know her (when I switched) why would I trust her? And why don't my t understand this? Has anything like this ever happened to you? If this a to personal question I apologias. I hope you have a good New Year.
