Hi guys,
So I am starting therapy to treat the symptoms of PTSD. (I have not been diagnosed as I have only just started the process with my therapist)
I have Borderline personality disorder and also dissociation disorder. I'm very very nervous about starting the treatment because I know I am going to have to talk about the events. This has caused me to dissociate before and I haven't always had someone around to 'snap' me out of it (or into reality).
Does anyone have any tips on how to manage dissociation in relation to traumatic events and thoughts of these events? Not just for in therapy but also outside of the therapy room.
Thanks
