Hello I am sorry that you are having it rough at this time. Have you been talking to your therapist in an honest manner? Honesty is the best policy, the reason you may not be progressing in therapy is because you are not getting the therapy you need at this time. WE all make mistakes and making them continually is not necessary if you get the right therapy that you need to see yourself and catching yourself before the tragedy occurs. Staying out of tragedys sometimes takes planning to keep ourselves SAFE. Perhaps if you spent a little more time on looking at the initial pros and cons of your behaviior and thought processes it would help keep you safe. For example: You know you are possibly getting into a dangerous or triggering situaiton, you can either get in the situation or out of the situation by thinking of your safety first, and then making the right decision. It takes practice but it is very helpful if you think of safety First and then there should be less tragedies that occur from your actions later. This is called protective thinking and positive motivation. Your Safety should always be the first thing that comes to mind and what meeds to be done to stay safe. NO is a very good word to use if you need to use the word NO. Boiundaries are very good there are many books regarding boundaries that may help you as well. The point I am tring to make to you is you deserve to have less tragedy in your life and you can have less tragedy if you think and act accordingly in a positive and safe manner. I really hope the best for you and I hope things get better soon. Take care Soidhonia
