I got strongly triggered by the dance scene from another round.

I feel super sad, I feel like my loneliness is getting very intense, my happy memories is eating me alive, I am much more at peace that at least I usually don’t remember them.

How do I keep my calm? How to not panic about my life? More importantly, how to keep my brain from ripping me alive with bad thoughts?

    I used to roll my eyes at people who complain about therapists . . . until finding out on my own that I have CPTSD, three years after ending a five year stint of almost weekly sessions. Despite knowing all my thoughts and secrets, he never figured out, or at least never told me that my behavior had a name and a path to recovery. I could be almost a decade deeper into recovery if this guy had done the bare mimimum of psychoeducation.

      I just posted a longer main comment but wanted to reiterate. There are definitely trash therapists. There are also great ones. Sometimes the great therapist isn’t specialized in the area you have problems.
