I went to session today and my t explained to me that I was not the same as when I came into the office. I asked her what she meant and she described me as expressing myself as a young girl. I don't recall feeling that way and I don't think of me as a girl. At least not me. So hearing that upset me, got me agitated and annoyed. I am still annoyed. I emailed my t to let her know but I'm still annoyed. Also she wants us to try to do what each other does. So if some of us dig a hole I should let ones that don't dig a hole to try. WTF is that. How am I supposed to do that. How would something like that happen. Has anyone ever done that????? I wouldn't even know where to start. +

Sorry you had a bad session. Not sure what she means either, but maybe she can explain it better the next time you see her. Wishing you well.

Yes I would be asking your T why she wanted them all to do the same thing. Sounds a bit strange. That's probably why your body kicked off later as they dont want to dig the hole. Tell them they dont have too, unless they know why and how it is going to help.

how to go about doing it... well thats sort of the easy part.. you the host or you the alters purposely set aside time to do things that you enjoy. the alters that share that same interest will automatically do those things.. example if you know an alter reads... promote this activity by keeping a supply of reading materials around in various topics, themes, plot lines that you know you and the alters enjoy. if you know some alters enjoy playing a sport, promote this activity by setting aside time and opportunities to do those sports. if you know some of your alters enjoy playing with dolls or trucks or other toys, ...promote this activity by keeping a small toy box with a variety of toys and stuffed animals in it.. examples using your past posts... http://forums.psychcentral.com/disso...ml#post2735588 in one post you stated you had two little girls that like to huddle together and talk, you stated you hug you and tell them they are safe...and you have others that ask to do things and you do it with them.... thats exactly what this therapy approach is all about...doing things together with your alters and letting them do things together like huddling, hugging, or playing what ever they want to do. maybe you can go back and reread your past posts.. by doing this I have found many instances where you have been doing exactly what this therapist wants to happen...you talk with your alters, you listen to your alters, you find ways to do the things they want to do and you do things that will get the alters sharing information and activities.... another suggestion...maybe you can ask your therapist for ideas since your alters do talk with your therapist too. you can also ask your alters for ideas since you are able to communicate with them. |

grounding is where you purposely set out to stay in the present moment, purposely checking in with your self and using things that you already know brings you comfort.. and by practice I mean you purposely do it even when you are not triggered.. when you are eating breakfast do so with the purpose of paying attention to what you are eating, how its making you feel, focus on all the details that eating breakfast entails. when you get dressed in the morning do so with purposeful attention to what you are choosing and why, how those clothes make you feel, was there a reason why you chose that attire... even being here on psych central do so with a purpose and attention at being here in the moment. explore the colors, smilies and variety of posts.... the more you practice being in the here and now and mindful of .....this very moment... of your day the more you will be able to remain grounded during those times when you want to be. Grounding/mindfulness doesnt always happen the first time or even the first month. it happens for each person at what ever rate it right for them. Some people are able to learn grounding and mindfulness the first time they try it others it takes practice practice practice and more practice... your treatment provider will be able to help you with more ideas of how to ground yourself and live a more mindful life.. there is also a grounding thread in the PTSD boards that may be able to help you. |
