Thanks. It went well. He thinks I'm just having a big action to the anniversary of my (abusive) bio-father's death two years ago combined with the recent death of my other family member. He gave me some things to try to help calm my brain down and reassured me that if I've checked my whole house I'm safe and that I've been through this kind of thing before. So I feel calmer. More tired, which is good too. I'm hoping to really sleep tonight.

Good, I'm glad you're feeling calmer, and I hope your sleep is good and hard.

Anniversaries of deaths - even abusers' - sure can throw us for a loop.

Not doing so well after all. I'm not so scared but I can't' wind down to sleep. I've taken PRNs without success. I'm missing my family member. I have all kinds of bizarre feelings about bio-dad. I'm just overwhelmed with feelings right now. I wish it were normal times and I could see my therapist in person. He says this is trauma coming out. He's been trained in EMDR since I last saw him in person and has promised that trauma work will be much less painful than the way we did it before (another technique, exposure therapy). So he showed me some EMDR things to try to contain this a bit. I have a feeling though that it would be better to do that in person.

The good thing is that he's had one COVID shot and so I should be able to see him in person in a few more weeks per the protocols. By then I may have had one vaccine myself. EMDR here I come....although hopefully by then I'll have settled.

I have my fingers crossed for you, for myself, and for all the other people who really need to get away from teletherapy and see their therapist IRL.
