T tried to get me to safe and I since it was end of session and didnt want to make her late told her was fine.
I was trembling after appt and when got back home had terrible flashbacks and nightmares.
The worse thing is somatic experiencing was supposed to be easier therapy and T was excited about it.
Now feel like shattered her hopes about this therapy

When I first started therapy I didn't want anything to do with my t. Over time I felt responsible for the sessions and my t. What I have come to realize is that therapy is about me and my alters. It doesn't matter if my t thinks therapy went well or not. I am not there to meet her needs or expectations. I am there to help us to get peace of mind. Tell your t how you feel. I am sure she will tell you that all that matters is that therapy improves your well being. They are doctors, they get that sometimes we respond differently to treatment. Don't worry yourself. She just wants you to be well.
