hi ((((((Daisy)))))))
i wrote a response and ended up triggering myself...(sometimes i feel like such a d@rk). but i'll try it again.
if a T pushes me i usually (quickly) dissociate. or get a mind block.
i think we all know we need to move forward, the part that we object to is going there. we automatically revert to our old (protective) emotions.
sometimes it helps to have T pull me through it, asking questions, i am able to give 1-2 word responses, sometimes it's enough if T walks beside me. One time when trying to recall an old memory my old T told me to picture him in the room with me so that it wasn't so scary.but i think it's the nudging itself that could be triggering. i mean, well, its really triggering to me if someone tries to PUSH or talk their way into making you do what they want. for me i always had someone else pushing their 'want's on me even if they 'talked nice', the result i learned was hurtful to me. and sometimes when someone is nice that way it's actually worse on me than if they would be mean and yell saying what they wanted.
anyway.Hon you have the power inside you already, its just accessing it and that too will come in time.
***you are SOOO NOT a therapy weakling!
you very strong daisy.
though it may not seem like it at times, you ARE working very hard. give yourself time.
