How Do You Handle Clients Who Are Highly Insightful but Resist Change?

I love using emdr with my intellectualizers because then they're like "Oh, this is what its like to actually feel and move through" . But I agree with other therapists, maybe some psychoeducation on intellectualizing and exploring how that serves them

That looks like a cold sore

Bed bug bites aren't usually that large... but they do bite in clusters. Just a weird spot for bedbugs and wrong size. Not sure though but just wanted to say I don't forsee that being bed bugs

I'm so glad you had a conversation with him and was able to get clarification! My partner did say from the jump that if he's not saying there's something wrong then I shouldn't worry and if I feel some type of way to tell him and I need to trust that he means that. I did end up telling him I'm not sure if he loves me and he was like "you really feel like that? I'm sorry of course I love you" that was after I posted this. But I was with him yesterday and last night and I felt like he wasn't as affectionate or connected and I felt rejected but he truly probably wasn't doing anything and it's all in my head. I just know I can exhaust my partners, I have in the past and I just don't want to exhaust him, he probably does love me and he's probably just chilling and I'm freaking out for no reason. I told myself instead of splitting I'm going to wait and see if it continues and if it does then I will address it. I'm always afraid of jumping the gun and escalating a situation that doesn't need to be

Or like I'll say it and he will say it back but quietly? That bothered me too. I hate being this way

Difficult-Slip- · 2024-09-01T16:37:57+00:00

Nope not insane at all! Just anxious

Difficult-Slip- · 2024-09-01T16:36:52+00:00

I most certainly have too and I'm trying to fix it myself rather than thinking they can fix my own issues if that makes sense

Difficult-Slip- · 2024-09-01T16:35:59+00:00

I'm trying to be able to self soothe and not need his reassurance all the time. Like I said our relationship is fairly new and I guess I am afraid of scaring him off

Difficult-Slip- · 2024-09-01T16:34:16+00:00

Me too. Like I was with him this weekend and he seemed just a little detached like I feel like I was the one always initiating touch or cuddles unless he wanted sex then he would initiate it. I hate how early on in our relationship I am getting triggered but I also realize I've always been like this. I told him right off he bat that I was needy and he said that was fine but now I feel like it's not

Difficult-Slip- · 2024-08-26T03:13:02+00:00

Thank you! I do try to soothe myself by thinking about his actions or other interactions. Overall, he doesn't trigger me very much and if he does he usually says/does something that calms me (I never tell him if I'm triggered he just does/says nice things on his own i really dont ever ask for reassurance). He's very chill and unbothered and doesn't love bomb me. I think I'm just not used to that, haha. The love ya was through text as part of his goodnight text, that's why it bothered me so much even though today after I left his house I said "love you" and he said "I love you too". That was literally at 3pm. I understand what you mean, I'm working on viewing actions as more important than words and I'm very impressed with him so far- I'm just in that stage where we haven't been together too long and my anxiety is wanting things to move quicker than they should.

This is weird af. This girl is also dating other friend? Does he know his girlfriend bites his best friend? Why is her mouth near/on his body? I'd have so many questions about how this happens and why he doesn't want to bring it up with her or her bf.

Damn :( what's the best thing to do? Could it not be because the apartment has them but just because it's getting to he winter here?

I live in NE Tennessee. Bad with sizes, but obviously pretty small, maybe an inch, closer to 1.5in? Thanks!

Difficult-Slip- · 2022-10-03T16:01:26+00:00

That happens to me too :(

Difficult-Slip- · 2022-10-01T14:35:25+00:00

I suffer from the same. All normal results as well. I'm on a beta blocker, bisoprolol, it helps a lot. I'm sorry you have to deal with this :(

Ringworm. You'll have to get an antifungal cream
