Hi PC friends,
I have a pretty major chain of events I have just experienced in the past 4 days and they were big triggers for a variety of childhood traumas. I really need advice and to talk this through on how to approach this in therapy. I tend to go blank with the bigger stuff and this needs to come out, I'm texting my Therapist tomorrow for an appointment ASAP.
I have a way of telling my story in session that sort of undermines the severity of the feelings it brings or the damage it has done. So her response obviously reflects this and I leave feeling worse. It's not her fault, my nerves get the best of me and everything is jumbled, and sometimes the way I deal with trauma is by "playing tough" and laughing and finding the comedy in a situation that really has zero humor in it.
I need to try my hardest to summarize my story/situation/experience and hopefully receive feedback or advice on how to handle this. It's a fairly new topic in therapy, one that hasn't been touched too much because the subject is always changed.
If anyone is willing to help, can you please PM me? I think the story is too detailed to post public, otherwise I would. I would so appreciate any help I could get and could really use support right now. I feel like the walls are closing in on me.
Thanks.
