When I don't want eye contact, and before when I would want to disassociate (don't do that anymore):
Hey come here.

Come back to me.

Please.

Look at me.

"Use your words, Chris." (Always reminds me of being very little but it is SO helpful when he says this. I was a delayed speaker; didn't speak at all until I was 4. And then being assaulted as I was at 5 just fed into my "quietness". When I'm feeling overwhelmed in therapy and stop talking, T knows where I've gone and reminds me to "use my words". It is nice to have someone ask to hear what I have to say.)

"what are u thinking..?"

"ah... Now I see."

"what do u mean?"

"oh, anna..." (not sure what I think about that one because sometimes it a good oh Anna and sometimes it's a caring oh Anna, and sometimes it's a omg what was that for oh Anna. Lol)

This, I think, is one of the most healing aspects of therapy when you've experienced CSA, in my experience.

You know, I've never really noticed the phrases my T uses. I will have to make a mental note to stay more present in the next several sessions to find out! this should be a fun challenge!

Mine said

"I'm curious about...." instead of directly asking a question

Boy do i HATE "it is what it is." Seems like such a pointless statement.

My T always ends the session by going "anyway, we need to stop." I always know when its coming! She starts winding down and make more general statements about what we were talking about.

She likes to say "i just wish i could understand..." When i seem stuck in the same things over and over. Im sure she has more, but cant think of any right now.
