Hello, I've mostly been over to the CPTSD side of this forum. All this is new to me, pretty much and I have learned so many new terms which is somewhat comforting to have a word to describe what I'm going through. But it seems so over whelming how things overlap and there's no clear cut way to find out what the real issue is and how I can fix it. I have a new T and we and she seems pretty in tune with trauma, she's even reading the Pete Walker book on CPTSD I loaned her. I see that as an effort on her part to really get to know what I'm going through and how to better serve my needs.
But why I'm here is that the dissociative events are becoming more frequent and troubling to me. I've always been an active person that enjoyed doing things and this dissociation seems to be consuming my time and life. I've tried the grounding exercises and they work well afterwards but how do you stop them in the first place. Am I going to have to walk around doing grounding exercises all the time? Or will they just stop on their own?
