Re: not coping

Hey @outlander, hope you're doing okay, just wanted to stop in to give some extra support

As others have said, just having a go is a good thing, it's one of those little baby steps we always talk about that takes you further down your recovery pathway. And if the session didn't feel right, or didn't work out, that is so okay! Especially if it isn't your usual counsellor.

In any case, we are here for you

Re: not coping

thank you @Jynx

i find counselling hard in general. i dont know why its hard to talk even about the surface things like whats happening right now. it happens with every counsellor though so i know that its me. this wouldve been 5 weeks in a row of speaking with a counsellor (4 with the regular one) but i dont know. i said that i would try again and 4 sessions doesnt seem like trying but i dont know whats wrong with me or why i cant connect with people or talk about things.

You seem fine doing it in writing, @outlander ...is it just the speaking thing that's hard? (Obviously, trauma is also hard to speak about in any form)
