When I get triggered during therapy, I usually dissociate. My former T knew how to deal with this and would give me some time to get back to myself. Sometimes we would talk through the dissociation, what I was seeing, what I was feeling, sometimes she would argue with me about semantics which was annoying but did make me come back, other times we would change the topic to something lighter or brighter. My T that I have now I think is starting to understand that I dissociate. So far we have just focused on breathing and focused on the chair and stuff to get me back. Hugs. Kit.
