T and I finally spent some time on it last night. Basically, the whole home work was based on a Johari window Johari window - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia We fleshed it out and incorporated what had been said by others (part of the ‘not known to self’ section). Even the stuff that I latched onto as negative, she put it into a positive slant and finished with saying that I now needed to work on ‘pontential’ content… and stressed that I had so much potential… just that till now I was adrift, had not been helped with direction and too mirred up with the negative. She has left it with me to think about over the next 3 weeks (she has a 2 week holiday for Easter)… First thought that came to my head was “well it’s lovely you see potential, but I’ve got no f’ing clue… nor idea on direction”… which I reiterated into a slightly less expletive sentence verbally. She didn’t really elaborate so I guess she’s leaving this very much to me for the time being. She’s also asked me to continue with mindfulness techniques… and to make notes of what exactly happens when I get intrusive thoughts… to let them come but observe and journal it… paying note to triggers, thoughts, feelings and behaviour. She mentioned that what I’m going through is similar to people with OCD… but that I don’t have OCD. Mentioned to her about my concerns with the medication and she advised that yes… I ‘could’ consider anti-depressants that do reduce intrusive thoughts… ‘however’, it would make me a lot less alert… which I think we both agreed wouldn’t be helpful. So yeah… that’s about it at the moment. She did mention that towards the end of next month she wants to do at least one double session for trauma work, which I’ll be honest I’m kind of dreading.

Lots to consider here... Thanks for bringing up the Johari Window. I think I've encountered it before but not under that name.

Johari Window is very nice! I used it in primary school (6 and 7grade). Now i can fully see its value. Thanks a lot for sharing
