My T has shared a new book w/me that I'm supposed to "pace myself" in getting thru it. At the end of each chapter there's homework which is something I asked for. Something to do @ home that'll keep me connected. I think its a great read & full of information especially on DDNOS. It's called
Coping With
Trauma-Related Dissociation
Skills Training for Patients & their Therapists

I told her that I read the first 3 chapters & that chapter 3 put me in a major breakdown mode. Things were touching so close to my heart I became full of shame & guilt. I did email her & told her of the trouble I had & that I was going to take a break. She wrote back that that's exactly what the book recommends, which is true, & that if I needed a break then take one. When I saw her for a session she asked me how the book was coming along & I said I didn't start it again. Again she told me to pace myself thru the next few chapters.
I thought I was going to go thru this book w/my T & not by myself? I feel very alone reading it. FWIW
