Thanks. I did take some time off and I appreciated the comments. Usually I can separate life, work, and school, but this course is taught by someone who is very experientially oriented so we do a lot of things instead just reading and talking. Plus she is really really sensitive as an observer so I feel like I can't really use my facade to shield me. Not that I have to self-disclose, but I don't want something to just come out because I'm feeling vulnerable or like it is safe. I really do not want to share this with people at school for a whole lot of reasons.

We just got our next assignment which is to fill out a "safety plan" paperwork just as a client would have to and then write a reflection paper on the process. We don't have to turn in our safety plan itself since she wants us to have our privacy.

I couldn't even read the whole document. I think since this event catalyzed a whole series of other disasters in which I lost a huge amount including all sense of safety, that I should return to this issue in therapy. I was thinking perhaps that I would do the safety plan with my therapist or at least talk about it.
