Hi lovely folks,
I've been hanging out here for a short while since I started therapy. And also reading a ton of things through links that people provide. It's really nice to get a lot of input in ways to look at things.
As my thought process keeps going and going while not in T's office, I feel a need for answers. And some things will take forever to come up in T because we can't do everything at once. I want to start exploring things before we get to it in therapy. So maybe you guys can suggest some reading material on these subjects. Also, if you want reading material on other subjects, feel free to use this thread to ask for it!
So, maybe some one has a reading tip on this:
- Learning to recognise your emotions (when you are like me, unable to feel them)
- How to know what's real, this is a bit cryptic so I'll try to explain: how do you know which thoughts are your own and which thoughts are there because you think they should be? Like when I know I should feel panicky I start to think I am, while I wasn't. I guess this is really sort of linked with nr 1.
Anything related to these sort of questions would be very nice! Maybe even a novel you read that struggled with these things.
