I cannot tell you how many times I dissociated during my first year and a half of therapy. Now, we move so slowly and carefully and have begun to be able to recognize those things that trigger me.

I'm sorry the session was so frightening. I think the fact that you "knew" you were in a crappy place when you walked in the door is a good sign in a way. It is maybe the beginning of reconizing your needs? I remember feeling a certain way on the way to session a few months ago and "knowing" I was going to dissociate in-session.

But now, I can tell T in advance that I am feeling vulnerable and we work with that feeling state.

Feel better and take gentle care.
