Just wondering, what are some of the issues your working on through therapy?

With me, currently its boundary issues.

[InRealLife45]

boundaries and not misdirecting my anger. and how to talk about abuse issues.

[sailorboy]

Relationship issues, my intrusive thoughts, panic.

[HazelGirl]

Building relationships, trauma, accepting my feelings, changing inner beliefs, and learning to cope with difficulty.

[junkDNA]

managing psychotic symptoms, reading and talking about ways to deal with paranoia, working a little here and there with trauma stuff, talking about work and relationships, we bounce around a lot. he says we should deal with trauma in small bites so as not to overwhelm me. so sometimes are sessions are light and we play cards and just chat and sometimes our sessions are more deep and we talk about past traumas

I'm not seeing him regularly these days, so it depends on what's up when I choose to go in. Usually anymore we deal with the here and now as most of my old stuff is just that, old anymore; we've worked through it. I saw him yesterday for the first time in about two months to talk about the death of a friend this week and what that has stirred up for me. The time before that we were working on a relationship issue with my husband. It just depends.

learning how to use my voice and speaking my mind rather than clamming shut. If she helps me change into the person I want to be, she will truly be a miracle worker. I have faith in her. Me, not quite yet....

[growlycat]

my driving phobia, trying to expand my social life, working on health management, etc.

My financial issues, school, grief, abandonment fears, and attachment (to T).

Currently we are doing Shadow work - today we talked about identifying what my Shadow is made up of in preparation to start working on integrating it. The first thing we already identified (which reared it's ugly head last August and caused the one rupture we had) is as she put it "the dreaded money monster". I've been thinking about it a lot and the other night wrote about it, looking at the word "monster" and I thought, what IS a monster? Well, a monster is strong. And what is another way of saying strong? Well, strength, I guess. And hey, a strength is a GOOD thing, right? So I can work with that. So we talked about that, and I thought hey, is this how we start, figure out what my shadow is (basically anything I say "I hate when I..." about myself is my shadow) and then figure out a way to turn it around into something positive? I think she was kinda proud of me when I said that. I'm actually quite excited about doing this 'inner work' right now.

[whatawhat]

We are working on tears. I don't do well with tears - mine or someone else's. We may go back to grief. We are also working on boundaries and assertiveness.

[precaryous]

Working on relieving anxiety while T is gone for two weeks around July 4th, building relationship and trust with T, working on new disclosures, learning about T's availability, tolerance. Working on body image, weight loss, pressing health issues.

[Irrelevant221]

We've been jumping back and forth between several different topics over the past few weeks. In most recent sessions, we've been working on issues related to handling anxiety, my relationship with my family, and my sexual orientation. Oh, and we've also been discussing my attachment to my ex-T because even though she moved away months ago, she still randomly crops up in my dreams and thoughts ever once in a while. Sigh.

[The_little_didgee]

We mainly work on social skills & decoding, motivation, and anxiety.

[JustShakey]

Anxiety, trust, relationships... I'm trying to reach a place where I can really 'feel' in the presence of another without getting overwhelmed by fear and shutting down. It's slow going.

[Solepa]

I am trying to talk about my traumatic experiences in more detail and connect to my emotions. Which is not working much so we are doing body therapy which seems to be working better as I have some emotional response to that.
We are also working on my issues with touch and self image.
Basically my T said I need to talk about it, accept what happened for what it was, feel sad, angry and what ever about it for a bit and then move on. Which is the plan.
All this while I try to find new job, finish my school and keep rescuing my relationship as my bf is tired of "me not being me" as he calls it.

Great times really.... I wish all the best to everyone on their journeys

[Ambra]

I started with an ED, which is now going very well. And trauma, ptsd, coping with grief and abandonment.

[rainbow8]

We are working on my attachment issues through the use of touch. Also doing SE to make me aware of where I feel my emotions in my body, not my head. Working on anxiety as always. My marriage. Confidence and my artwork. Being able to have a secure attachment to T so I can realize it's about me, not her. My life, not hers. Shame about my body has surfaced again, too.

I didn't realize I'm working on so much!

[Victoria'smom]

We're on our last session So we're going over goodbyes, my fears about leaving, and issues poping up due to stability.

[CameraObscura]

Shame issues, and preverbal attachment fears. We're doing a lot of work with transference, and mindfulness of the beginnings of my dissociative process.

[2or3things]

Trauma and attachment issues are pretty much always at least in the background, but at the moment we're spending time trying to figure out why I cling to a very negative image of myself--the one I got from my family growing up--rather than maybe considering that I'm not so unfailingly awful. T wants to know why I'm so invested in protecting my parents.

[rainboots87]

self esteem and relationships/attachment, also processing my work with at-risk teens

Trauma stuff and DID

[ScarletPimpernel]

Anything and everything

Communication, boundaries, health, agrophobia, self-injury, suicidal ideation, support from the community, relationships, addressing conflict, coping skills, awareness, bed time routine, relaxation, hobbies, everything else....lol.

We talk about whatever comes up.

[Mactastic]

We're working on our relationship and me believing he cares and that I matter to him. We're also working on self-compassion and noticing when I'm projecting negative ideas I have about my self-worth onto my relationships so I can break bad habits. We're about to work on a phobia, too. I told him about it in April but I've been too insecure about our relationship to really focus on that.
