I'm so afraid and 'naked' in that I'm frozen in time and space and bleeding from all the cuts. I tried to explain this to therapist, but he just couldn't seem to understand, but he always, always is the only one who can. I don't know what to do....
Does anyone else understand?

odd reading this! when I was remembering lots of horrible things in therapy, which due to dissociation was just like going through them for the first time, I often had an experience - it felt too real to be called anything else - of walking through shattering glass, in slow motion, and being covered in cuts - my therapist understood though she was scared for me, too, she said the intensity of the pain was probably causing it, and because I am a creative person it manifested itself in this way. Make sense? Hope it helps
