My session on Thursday was painful. That night I felt numb. Friday I was ok but Saturday started to get rough and today , Sunday feels unbearable. I feel like I opened up a can of worms.

I talked about sexual assault as a teenager by "family friend". I didn't think that it would hit me like this as I've talked about this before. I really thought I had a handle on it.

Hester...I'm sorry you are having a hard time... I have experienced all those feelings as well after telling T of a difficult thing... perhaps you could call your T just to check in...sometimes just to hear their voice and know that they are still the same helps...

I can very much relate to this. My T urges me to reach out to my support network (which I don't have much of, if at all, outside of PC) and to put in place some strategies to cope with the excess nervous energy - like exercise. It's quite common for this to occur, but also quite unpleasant.

I often don't feel the effects of a difficult session until a few days after. I get fearful and jittery and feel terribly exposed. However, while I still have those feelings sometimes, the fears come less often and are less intense. It gets worse before it gets better.

Thanks so much for the support. I needed someone to Hear me. I'm sure this is going to pass. It always does, right? Again thanks.

I just wanted to tell you how brave and courageous I think you are!
