Re: not coping

@NatureLover it seems to be in any form. the counsellor that i have right now i have the option of talking on the phone or i can connect to webchat-like the SANE webchat so i connect there so i can type talk rather then have to actually speak. i dont think id speak about any of my traumas again. only in bits and pieces if im really struggling with a specific aspect (like nightmares). i just find therapy in general hard.

Re: not coping

Counselling can be hard @outlander It is never easy opening up to someone, especially when we don't know them that well. You are showing so much courage by just trying sweetheart. There is nothing wrong with you, it is damm hard talking about our deepest and darkest thoughts.

You are perfect just the way you are 💜

Re: not coping

@outlander it takes a lot of strength to be vulnerable, and if you've been wired by trauma to feel unsafe when sharing openly, it makes sense that it is difficult to even speak. There's definitely nothing wrong with you - and just look at all the folks you're able to connect to here!

Re: not coping

i cant even talk about surface things either atm @Snowie its not even the deep dark stuff i could barely talk about my responsibilities and pressures that are happening right now or the upcoming procedure. its like i could barely talk about anything at all. i didnt think it would come up this quickly, usually i can get through a few more sessions with counsellors before i start stumbling like this and im barely at 5. maybe im at the end of help

Re: not coping

There is no blueprint @outlander as to how counselling should go or how many sessions each person needs. Everyone is different and no two people are the same. Every person gets help in different ways. Just because I see a psych doesn't mean that someone else will.

Go a bit easier on yourself hun, you are no at the end of help. Perhaps help just looks different for you
