It was very, very hard to get through, but the Psychologist that was facilitating it was skilled in getting me through it. Not like some that would just give up on me. My biggest draw back is getting to know a new person, that's hard , plus I will be in there with all men, which is okay too as long as they don't get emotional and start crying. But they might. So I'm trying to prepare myself for that.
we have identified my avoidance behaviors which seems to be about everything I do. So it will take some time to reprogram all that. Geesh a lot of work that I wish I didn't have to do, ya know? Did you have a workbook?

how many truama's you have to write up an impact statement for will depend upon what your instructing therapist wants the group to do. mine did only one. this is because once you learn how to do the worksheets for with one trauma then you know how to do the worksheets on your own for more trauma's.
The way this is set up it fosters being able to do things on your own, not remain stuck.
there is a teaching manual that instructors print off worksheets for the group to do. my instructing therapist always handed out more than one worksheet..one to do together as a group and others to practice/ do on our own.
your instructing therapist will tell you which book they are using and if they welcome you working ahead of the group on your own.
