T1 reminds me that he is here, within earshot. When I ask for help, he's pretty good about offering it. Some of the things that help me are hearing that I am not alone in this, that we will figure it out. I like it when he asks if I need an extra session, or if I want to do a phone or text check in. He doesn't seem to do what others call holding, at least he doesn't do what I think I understand people to say. Oh, and consistency. He is super consistent.

T3 describes to me what is going on with me. She has experience and knowledge and has a great support system of ts who do trauma work, EMDR, SE, and brain spotting. Her confidence that I will someday not hurt all the time is stabilizing for me. And her belief that I don't have to feel the way I do is also very helpful. DBT style stuff taught me that I would just have to learn to tolerate the intense reactions I sometimes have. T3 does not believe that.

T1 bought me a teddy bear. That is pretty awesome.
