My therapist had one way to approach things--slower and more cautious--and I had another. She was right. I will admit that now. I've contacted her since then to help stabilize things that are happening because of my condition. She's not angry, but we have to figure out how to do this safely. She said it was a breakthrough though, which I agree. But it's messy and frightening.
Maybe your T should get a punching bag
Glad your hand isn't seriously injured. Feelings can be scary. You know, at least you now know for sure that your way wasn't perfect. That's better than living in doubt about it for years, and regreting that things didn't get tackled faster, I think.

Yes and no... It's more that I feel non-existent when noone is around. That it doesn't matter what I do or don't do as I'm not affecting anyone
