Ok, I know I'm late on this one but I wanted to share. When I was in therapy, my T would always ask, 'And how are you feeling?' You know what! That seriously triggered me every single session for about a year! I couldn't really understand why at the time, I did figure it out in the end though. Anyway, I had to ask T to find a different way to ask how I was, it took huge courage for me to do that at the time but I am so glad I did because from that point onwards he never asked the question in that way. It meant that I was no longer triggered at the start of the therapy sessions. Must have been real hard for a therapist to change the wording. Lol!
