I have not done self harm for a few months now, but when I did feel compelled to cut, I felt I could breathe afterwards and it was a release, a satisfaction in obtaining a desire. A couple minutes later I felt a rush sometimes, but not as the goal.
I dissociate during sessions sometimes, it feels like I am enclosed in a see through bag and can't hear as clearly. Sometimes I feel taller or shorter or younger or all of a sudden naive. I am very comfortable with my therapist yet I don't always tell her it is happening. She picks up on it and usually just goes on or asks what I am feeling at the moment.All for her information in being able to help me recognize it more.
