Could you go and tell him how you are feeling? That you don't really want to jump back into the trauma processing right now??

PTSD and working through trauma are a lot of what my therapy is about. But we have many, many appointments where we just talk about what is happening in the room, or current things happening in my life, or whatever. I would say the "therapy relationship" is our favorite topic of late, actually. And that came after some MAJOR PTSD stuff that happened right in his office - huge panic attack, dissociation, etc. We backed off and now we touch on it, but we let it go sometimes too.

For me, it helps me to feel safe with my T, AND be willing to go to my appointments, if I know I can say "I don't want to go there today" and we can keep it a little lighter. I still think it helps with building the connection between me and T, which I know will help with more trauma processing down the road.

Good luck, happyflowergirl! Let us know what happens.
