Survivor Room / Counselling is starting :/ *SA, SH*
« Last post by Vermilion on November 09, 2022, 01:29:14 PM »I'm finally starting that counselling that I need for the S.A. that I've experienced. After so many delays due to Covid and then being engaged with DBT therapy and having to defer it it's finally time to start. I'm anxious about it obviously and I'm frightened of possibly relapsing after going so long without SH I worry that to do so once would lead to everything escalating again. I have my CC and still have 5 DBT 'maintenance ' sessions left if I need them (I used one during my last relationship ending) but will it be enough? What about when when I'm struggling to sleep and there's no one to help me?
I have the pre counselling chat in a bit, where we'll talk about the basics like safeguarding, what the counselling will involve etc so nothing too intense yet . I'll try and express some concerns, I'm not going to be the only one who worries about this stuff. I'm determined to do this, those bastards have stolen enough of my life and I refuse to let them steal anymore.
I don't know why I'm posting this, what I'm expecting people here to say. I'm just...acknowledging my feelings I suppose...
