Glad I'm not alone. I just left my T's office and tried (unsucesfully due to my own lack of assertiveness) to tell her this exact thing! I actually feel so angry and frustrated with her right now. Probably misplaced anger and frustration but I don't even care! I want to scream.

If a little tapping, breathing, and a meditation app was all it took to stop one of those horrific, psychotic, dissociative, confusion, panic, terror states that strike in the middle of the damn night....doesn't she think I would've figured that out by now!?

It's easy for someone who has never experienced such a thing to offer up all the helpful suggestions in the world. I know they are only trying to help, but I'd like to see them so handily use their little "toolbox of skills" in the midst of being so shattered and terrified that they're dripping in sweat, heart pounding, death hovering, and so mind-f***** that it's hard to even remember their own name, current location, time/place in space, or even know where reality ends and begins.

Ugh. rant over. Sorry. and thanks for listening.
