First of all, I'm sorry you're having scary health problems.....I hope everything turns out okay.

As for the trauma/support - what you are saying makes SO MUCH sense. In fact, I had a really similar situation recently when I had to go to the doctor for something I was so scared of, and T left me a message on my cell phone to listen to on the way to the doctor and asked me to call when I was done with the appointment so he could talk to me and see how it went. And all of that care and support made the scary situation so much less scary.

I've had that experience with T as well when I've been in crisis. Even in my most recent appointment with him, when I was so dissociated and panicked....the care and support and connection with him turned the situation into something positive, and I felt loved - rather than just getting lost in the panic and stuck in the trauma.

I guess this is another way that T (and for you, MD) helps us heal. I hadn't really thought about it until you put it into words for me.

Please take good care of yourself, Kiya!!!!!! I hope everything turns out fine with all of your tests. I'm so glad you have such a great team on your side - whenever I read about your T or MD, it makes me smile. They are awesome!
