When I first talked about my trauma with my T (therapist) I made sure she was ready for me. I needed to know that she was not planning on any vacations in the near future, or surgeries, and that nothing big was happening in her life. That made it a lot easier for me to proceed. I also told my T about how nervous and uncertain I was. We went over the sensations to expect, what to do if I flip out, what she would do with me, what I needed to do with myself. That helped me to know what to expect.

Good luck with this. It is a painful process but when you come threw the other side looking back you will be glad you did it.

Thank you for your response.

I haven’t been the best the past few days. Today I was very dissociated. I feel like I’m not in my body or present, but not in the past either, just... nowhere.

I can try to do that, but it’s harder to do since he works with my college and like most people, I’m done college until September, and so many people plan trips during these times so. As I stated before, I can email him if needed. I ended up emailing him last night from my stress.

Thank you. I am hoping it will go well.
