next week im going to a trauma intensive for 5 days. im so nervous! it will be myself, and 1 or 2 other people plus my T and one other T that I have never met. i dont even know what to expect. i stay there all day and all night with just these people ive never met and my T. and im going to have to talk about my feelings ALL FREAKING DAY!
 i dont know what it will be like to be around T 24/7 like that. will she be different? will i be different? will i get even more attached and be spent into a tailspin after the 5 days are over?oh boy...... |

Totally awesome opportunity. (I'm completely jealous!) I know you're worried about it, but it'll be so worth it if you can be as present and open as possible.
Wishing you the best, and can't wait to hear about the results. |

we've talked a bit about "little struggles" and shes said..."well we're going to grow you up 25yrs"....and she knows im scared of being needy and having needs and being attached....i always wonder what that means when they says "contain"....what do they do? what does that mean? cause i think once i let all my s**t fly there will be no containing whatsoever! big struggling will go off the deep end for sure!!

I wish I knew the answer to this, If I ever get the little kid to come out ...Ill let you know how he contained her, but the fear seems to overwhelming to do that. I wonder if anyone else knows the answer? You may after this week and if you do , please share with the group.

Hi Struggling,

I hope it goes well. I have done a 6 day trauma intensive once and it was tough but soooo helpful.
and i just got back today from doing 24/7 stuff with my T for 10 days or so-- we were together all day, every day-- and it was extremely healing. I got to see even more of my T's "human-ness" (even though I already had a really good idea of that)-- and she saw me and my best and worst. T learned all sorts of new things about me and i about her, and we learned even better how to work with each other, how to talk in an even deeper/ more intense way to get more out of things (and of course, sometimes we just ate pizza or goofed around, but probably 70% of the trip was trauma work). It was hard but so helpful. I hope you will find your week the same. |

 ive followed your thread about your trip and it sounds amazing. so happy for you that you got to do that. although i know i need to talk about trauma and issues...im also deep down secretly hoping for some normal or typical day-to-day experiences with T.......just because so much of my childhood experience with my mom was not normal and i think it would be so healing to have those experiences and be able to hang onto them instead of my memories being harsh.

Hey struggles. I did intensive in home T for 6 mo. It was after work. 3 hours each evening 3 evenings a week. After work that didn't leave much free time. But it was amazing. The pace was crazy. The freaked out feeling never went away while she was here. But that was part of the process. To be so freaked I needed her and she got to see everything unfold before her eyes. It had it's fun days but mostly alot of work. I covered what would have taken years in 6 mo. I'll never regret it. Just go with it.

That was a lot of what made my trip so helpful and healing. T and i just did every day stuff, things sisters or a mom and dauter would do together like shopping and painting our nails and watering flowers. It was so healing because i got to have a bunch of stuff that i didnt ever get before. Like her saying such positive stuff to me and all the actual attention i got. I am not used to it and it felt good. All those corrective emotional experienes! I really really really hope that you can have some of those things. I truly hope this experience is very healing for you. |

Hey Struggling2,
I read this post back when you first posted it and I've been thinking about you this week and hoping the intensive is really beneficial for you! I don't know if I've already missed a post somewhere but I hope it's been okay. If you feel up to it, it'd be nice to hear whether something like this was actually beneficial and helpful!
