Right...so I'm wondering why you can't continue PE to work on the rest of the traumas? It doesn't seem responsible of the system to stop that work. 😕

We did start on one of the major 3 traumas, but didn't have time to finish it. I think they are limited to how many sessions are allowed, with the idea of only working on one index trauma.

I can't imagine a T saying that she didn't want/need more info! If you're shy about it, do you think you could ask her what she thinks about reading what you've written? Even if it can't be addressed in group, maybe just having someone see/hear you and your feelings will be a big help? Sorry if I'm reaching here, I've never been in this situation, and you deserve the best care. 🤗

Seems like most T' just want to know the superficial information and not work on the origin of the trauma, Which seems to be backwards to me, like putting that band aide on an infected wound.

It makes total sense!!! And I do this all the time. T C taught me the 5 Things grounding technique and it's a terrific tool...have you tried that? It's honestly the only grounding tool that works for me at this moment.

Yes, I have used the five things before if I can do it before I drift off, after that the pull to stay in a safe place is stronger than the focusing on outside things. Unless someone is telling me to to focus on things, like my first T. when she recognized that I was drifting off she would keep talking to me until I complied and once I got so agitated with her talking to me I almost yelled "no" at her.

This is another reason why I got kicked out of IOP...I got triggered by all the overly emotional women in the group, and I got up and left the room quite frequently. The men didn't "bother" me at all...just the women crying and sobbing so loudly. I'm sure the men in your group understand that it's hard to talk right away, they were all new once too. ☺️👍🏻
