It may sound minor but I'm really thrilled. Up to now I've been dissociating nearly constantly and so communication has been extremely limited. I feel like I'm finally starting to get somewhere, and that I'm on the road headed in a positive direction.

Great job..... Keep up the good work, no matter how big or how small, as long as you continue to push forward you will have a better outcome.

Oh My Gosh.
Good for you!!!!!!
OK, so how did you do it? Please share!
Dissociation is a bit of a problem for me. I'm learning to identify and override it, but it's a bit hit & miss.
Do tell.

Hi Awakening- I think time is probably a real factor. Also, I mentioned how extremely frustrated I was with not being able to communicate, and so we started focusing on that. Dissociation is still a problem- don't get me wrong, but I was present more than not.
Your so brave to even go to therapy. I am hoping to get the courage up to do that soon. Congrates Auburngirl!!!!

Good for you, Auburngirl. The more I talked about my stuff the easier I found it as time went on. Hang in there!

Thanks you guys! It's not easy, but the feeling of forward movement is pretty great... And I figure if I can now talk about things, then it must be at least possible to talk about things, which it wasn't before, at then they'll start to get better.

A little trust goes a long way!
Congradulations!

:poke:I still have trouble with talking and I am new here. Is this what disasocitating means? I have little or no trust in nobody. I am scared.

That's wonderful, Auburngirl. Every step, however small, in a positive direction is significant! They all take you closer to where you want to be.

That's great! It's a huge step to even go to therapy at all. I know from experience how terrifying it can go to be, and actually have to talk about really personal or traumatic things.

chabrye, the little guy poking with the stick is hilarious! I've been on both sides. Sometimes that is what it feels like in counselling. Funny. The other day I just felt sick and disconnected to people. My counselor said I was "dissociating". I am still having difficulty understanding this word. Is it when I have outter body experiences or feel disconnected with my surroundings? I guess both eh?
