I cried - a lot of the time. But at least I managed not to dissociate this week, unlike last week.
It was all going well and then suddenly it isn't. I need to focuson the good but I am feeling more andd more overwhelmed by the bad. There are more things expected of us every day, it seems. I was just about keeping up and now I am feeling swamped. I have an interview for a new job in just over a week so I don't really feel I can admit how much I am struggling just now.
My T was very encouraging. Even made me an appointment where he didn't have one because he was concerned that otherwise I would have too long between sessions. He said I am doing well and I just have to try not to do too much too quickly. That is really hard for me. Especially now when everything feels wrong.

Hang in there.

Thank you Ben. I'm trying to.

it sounds like you have an awesome t. because of this, it's going to be ok...even though it doesn't feel like it sometimes.

be safe,

Glad your appointment went great and congrats on not dissociating during the session. I know how hard it is to remain aware during sessions.

Thank you KD.

I agree, I think my T is awesome, and very "right" for me. He's reassuring but doesn't want me to sit back and do nothing. I don't doubt him, just myself.

Today has been a bit better. I have got through a whole day without crying. I'm reassured that I am not going to have to go 3 weeks before I see him again. That makes me feel safer.

Thank you, myself. I'm glad I managed to stay with it - and I know my T was too, because he congratulated me on it. I did keep working on the grounding skills I could and I wasn't willing to let myself go there, much as part of me wanted to. As a result we made some good links.
