I get sleepy and can’t focus my eyes. I am not sure if I have dissociated with R. T or not. I am guessing I haven’t. R. T works really hard to keep my anxiety below a level where I would disassociate. I did freeze up really bad the second session and T asked “where is your anxiety”, I turned and looked at him but still wasn’t completely there so he asked “on a scale of one to ten where is your anxiety”... I answered likert scale and he looked at me funny and then I could tell him it was at a 5 and he smiled and joked that we had plenty of wiggle room then. Usually T doesn’t let me get past a 3 or 4 before he lightens things up. He says if I am uncomfortable that I am not open to recieve what he is trying to offer me. T has also learned I will not/cannot dissociate if he is touching me so he uses that too.
