Thank you for replying
I kind of want to bring it up but I feel really embarrassed about it (I think that’s my anxiety and worrying what people think).
Thinking about what you said about playing with something resonates with me. The first session I might have lost focus slightly once or twice but I was so anxious I didn’t stop squeezing/playing with my hands out of nervousness. But last time when I felt it was really difficult to stay focused I wasn't moving/playing with my hands as much. Maybe it’s related?
I have heard of EMDR has it helped? I’m not sure how my therapist might want to tackle trauma if we do ever get there as I shut the topic down when it comes up (I’m scared to bring it up in case things get bad and I can’t handle it).
How does your t notice and bring you back? I want to try next session but o stay present any way I can.
