So I& #39;m not in therapy again bc its so damn expensive but the thing I gained from my last one is that the things I& #39;ve experienced in my life are legitimate trauma, something I honestly never categorized before.
As a result I& #39;ve started reframing my reactions to things under this new knowledge. Like. Last night I had a trauma response due to a trigger (a door "slamming").
I wasnt in therapy long enough to tackle these things but just naming them has totally changed my outlook and approach when they happen.
But also I& #39;m embarrassed by these things because the names make them feel more Serious so when I talk to my partner about it I feel like I& #39;m getting all self-diagnosey or making excuses for myself. And ofc he doesn& #39;t take it that way. But I get in my head.
There is no revelation at the end of this thread or anything I& #39;m just brain dumping where I& #39;m at in this process I guess. Sorry https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht">

The dangerous part about this mindset as a whole is that the more upset I get with myself, the more harm I want to do to myself. I get mad at myself for being anxious/depressed/unfocused or feeling crazy or at my body for failing me (so much chronic pain) that I punish myself
None of this thread makes sense im sorry im just
