First session back

I just got home from seeing my therapist face to face first time in almost 4 months. She was off of work due to having covid19 and is slowly working towards getting back full time.

The session was ok I seem to be dissociating abit more then normal and I lost another friend last week due to cancer. Everything seems so confusing with everything else.

I am back to seeing her every two weeks like before and she is so understanding and helpful. I also will be getting some grief counseling besides seeing her. I have had allot of good friends pass away this year.

Grief and trauma I just don't even know where to begin. I really hope grief counseling can help me resolve the sadness and guilt I feel, also help me become less confused with all the trauma. I still have not dealt with my Grandpas death 8 years ago and all my friends who passed away knew my Grandpa. I hope it's not too much seeing my therapist and the grief counsellor at once.

Hugs if wanted, Cheryl. I'm sorry you've dealt with so much loss recently. I hope the grief counseling will help. And it makes sense that it will take time to feel comfortable with your T again. I mean, it can sometimes take me a session or so to feel comfortable when my T has only been gone a week.

I'm sorry for your losses. If you find it too much you can always change your schedule. With the dissociation occurring more frequently, maybe learning grounding techniques would help first.

Sending you wishes filled with healing energy & lots of love, Cheryl.
