Hello PC,
I have started then deleted this post a handful of times. I suppose the "post it" part won.
So I am posting it.
I have an appointment tomorrow with a new psych MD. I don't know why I am so nervous, except perhaps because I have finally reached a point in my life where I am ready to be seen and hopefully helped? I have a mix of fear and excitement and worry and hope swirling around.
I am also just starting with a new trauma therapist. I've met her once. I could understand right away why my previous therapist thought we should work together.
Specifically, we will be discussing and exploring dissociation. Sometimes I am very succinct and can speak clearly and then other times it's like I lose words and just tumble backwards, wanting to get the appointment over with.
How do you stay grounded when you see a new provider?
Thanks for listening and being here.
