Couch 61: How Long Will it Last?

Do you have something in mind, Ready? Like a technique or something? Just wondering if you were shopping for a T that did something specific. Or are you just trying to find a T on insurance?

I guess I could.... xT always said stuff about not filling in memories..etc or after I said how something was he would say how do you know you dont remember... it made it so I could never tell him anything about past

I wanted to scream at xT...I was around for the whole false memory debate too... I WASNT BORN YESTERDAY... so yeah I could be a little sensitive about that...

It must be frustrating to not remember things.

Wiki...want to read about him on psych today i could PM his name...

PROS...
He takes my insurance
List dissociative disorders in the psychological
does eclectic psychodynamic and cbt
he has opening in the evenings

CONS
he is young
he has only 2 yrs experience

yikes...2 yrs. Wow.
That would scare me.

yea....pm me his name.

his write up is good. I hope it goes well tomorrow.

I dont know.... You know what they say about it sounds to good to be true... Its skepical optimism that I'm going in with...

I think I'm going to try and lay down again.

Have good dreams ready.
Nice chatting with you.
And I will be waiting to hear about your phone interview.

did i mentuon its a phone consult and I HATE tlking on the phone...

I will have a script written before we talk

night Wiki...hope you get some sleep...

Been on the verge of crying all day. Went out to look after my girls as they are on school holidays and ex had to go to an outpatient clinic. Usually that cheers me up no end, it just seemed to make me worse. Came back and vacuumed and felt better for about 20 mins now I'm back to being teary, for absolutely no reason.
Hope everyone elses cleaning was therapeutic.

Hey ready still around? Hope work goes well and phone consult with new T.

Feel embarrassed because my house mate startled me in the kitchen and I fell over and knocked all the fridge magnets on the floor.

Oh no BA...that sounds like soemthing I would do. Big

can't be as bad as when i got such a fright at a film that I threw my entire bucket of popcorn up in the air and all over the people all around.....in front, behind, beside.....

Geez..... 10 pages in a day....how on earth can I keep up on this thread?? lol

Long tough day at work.....I'm exhausted after a night of constant waking from dreams that left me feeling anxious/scred when waking. Ugh

I hate those nights too, JaneC.
With the 10 pages don't worry, I went to bed once logged on in the morning and they'd had an orgy on the couch 25+ pages! It gets busy sometimes.

Holy Cow!! An orgy?? Just as well I missed that then I wouldn't know where to put myself

Just throw yourself in, Jane.

The last time I threw myself in to a 'situation' like that I ended up lost in a city in Spain, backpack in a hostel on the other side of town, shoes in a tango bar on another side of town and ....well............ a very intersting story to tell!

I now try to avert quite 'that' much fun

In the other thread you said you did EMDR. Does your T make you talk during it? I only had 2 sessions and freaked out as my T expected me to say something.

Oh...I said that I would be starting it soon. I am terrified to start...but think it may help. so far he does ask me to talk, I need to, I dont always like it.....but I need to if i want a life of better wellness.

I have only been working with him for 9 months.. so the trust is still building, not sure I can even trust him enough to let him sit close enough to 'do' the EMDR.....but we are moving that way.

when i have the sensations that are too much for me.....I often can't talk....then it is ok to work though the trigger/flashback until I feel safe. I dont have to talk then if I dont want to. which I aften dont.

I hear you with the sitting close for EMDR. I think thats part of the reason why I don't like doing it.

good morning.
I actually ended up sleeping for a couple of hours last night. Yay me. Still in pain though.
Need to call the doc when they open.

I have a not-so-busy day today, thankfully.

morning everyone. not in the best mood today just panicky about life stuff and feeling it
