What has been your experience?

I would do a poll, but I don’t know how.

If you dissociate during a session, and your t realizes that you have, does he stop the session?

Does your T focus on getting you grounded?

Does your T just let you proceed as things are going?

The reason I ask, is because my counselor has asked me what he should do for me, and I appreciate him for asking me.

There have been times during a session that I know that I’m not all there.

I’m listening as another part of me is talking about something that maybe “I” didn’t have the strength to reveal or talk about.

I’ve read that T will usually stop the session because they do not think it is beneficial to continue if the client is not grounded and present.

I wonder if it would be more beneficial to just let it happen and let what needs to be said, be said and brought out into the open.

Sometimes it takes me a few days to recover from it, but it has helped. “I” may remember the season in fragmented pieces, but another part of me feels validated and heard.

Somehow it works.

Just a curious question.

I have something that I want to talk about tomorrow, in session. It’s major to me and I’m not really sure what it’s going to do to me. I’m pretty sure it’s not going to be “me” bringing this out.

In a way, it’s kind of comforting to know that there is a part of me strong enough to do this for me, when I don’t know that I could.

When I woke up this morning it was the first thing on my mind and I’m kind of wrestling with it today.

It feels like this is the biggest thing that has wanted to be brought out. I’ve experienced an unburdening from the other things as they have been heard by someone else.

I guess what I’m wrestling with is the fear of the level of dissociation that could happen.

My counselor is pretty clued into me and can see it sometimes, but I’m an expert at hiding it.

I guess I’m just curious what other T do in this type of situation with dissociation.

Sorry so long.

I did ramble a bit.

Thank you for hearing me!
