Trauma Therapy Session 11: Post day 8. Beliefs we don’t want.
Sharing a journey through treatment to demystify the process for anyone nervous about starting therapy and also help me reflect and find the lessons to move me forward. The last session held some more conversation about one of the flash backs I suffer with. In all honesty it is still a subject I may have…

Six reasons you don’t want help. Challenge yourself to do something different today.
I could list so many people I know right now who are unhappy. For some of them it’s a subtle feeling…I don’t remember the last time I felt truly happy. For others they have confided in me they have struggled so much they have considered taking their own lives. What do many of these people…

Sooner or later I am going to realise there is no value in getting myself wound up about expectations of a conversation because sometimes we end up on a totally different tangent. Today was one of those days. We sign posted last week that we would use the time today to discuss a little about…

An amazing opportunity where we got to experience so many things, flying, sports, drill, night exercises. I have so many fond memories of those days. The sense of camaraderie, the exciting new experiences, the crazy endeavours. I…

Trauma Therapy Session 5: post session day 6 . Facing into the “bad” feelings.
I have learnt over the last couple of months my emotional processing power has been subdued. It has never really reached a normal level of functioning, forced aside by the desire to avoid at all costs the trauma of the past. In this latest session we talked about an event and I thought it would…

Trauma Therapy Session 5: post session day 2
Wow not really sure what to write. That was definitely a productive session. I am learning these sessions never really go exactly as I expect but that is ok, in fact maybe even good. We started the session reflecting on homework. The homework I was set was to continue to mirror back negative emotion when…
