Okay, so I still like my T and all, but today he made me face something terrifying because he's preparing me for when my story is broken wide open and lots of other local people are going to know. It looks like this may happen soon because a key person can't keep their mouth shut.

My T was calm and helpful and safe as always, but it still scared the heck out of me and my words have been gone (mutism's back) since about 10 this morning.

This hurts and I'm scared and I don't want to even think about the trauma in my own head, let alone having our entire little small town know!

I just saw him this morning so he knows. I see a good support person tomorrow and then my T again on Friday. He doesn't trust email but I wish he did for emergencies at least.
Thanks for this!

...Friday is SO far away!... How do people do this? It's just all so raw again. My brain blocked out this crap for a reason! I know he's helping by making sure I'm aware of what might happen, but it just seems so much bigger than me

That sounds so hard and scary. I'm really sorry you are having to go through this.

I bet Friday really does seem FAR away. When I was in that place with T...SO raw and needing support, but with days and days between appointments...it helped me to break down the days into little pieces. At this point, I would focus on seeing the person you are seeing tomorrow. That's not as far away, and after you see that person, it's one less day until you see T.

Posting here helps me, too. I hope you will ask for as much support as you need.

Lots and lots of safe hugs to you
