My therapist encouraged me to watch some online sermons last week when I was struggling... I pretty much yelled 'no' at her. I then told her it was probably time that we revisit my list of stimulating triggers together. 
Hang in there and let me know if there's anything I can do to assist.  |
Thanks, fern. I don't hear much about this on the board, so, thought maybe was alone or something. Yeah, the key coping thing here is not to let myself get carried off by i it. Otherwise, I get commands and start trying to keep up with them all and it's Bad News Bears. Or, decide I am Jesus again maybe or something.
So, simple distraction is good. Kitten. TV. Read. Clean. No deep pondering allowed. Super careful to try not to have any visions.
All counsel is welcome.
