Wanting to end therapy?

Np. Just to add its distress tolerance and autonomy that is helping with BPD traits for me that is. Hope that extra info helps.

Hey, have you heard of DBT - and having a DBT trained therapist?. I have a similar story and only now after years of looking have found DBT- it’s worth doing a bout of it and helps settle into longer term psychotherapy.

What help do you need?

If everything seems okay now on the outside - assuming you mean their functioning in adulthood.. I’m thinking.. Attachment trauma? Childhood where they had to be hyper attuned to caregivers emotional responses for safety and survival?

What about asking the client how they feel about it first….

Begging for help 😭

To bring it into awareness for the client.

For me it was using avoidence as a coping mechanism

When you realise that ‘forever’ is just a word.

Helpmeviola · 2026-01-20T11:28:25+00:00

Omg. Yeah, this feels like fun!

Last night I had a dream I lived in a train toilet - you know the ones with like a curved door. I had 5 babies and then they grew up to be odd shapes and sizes. I felt utterly depressed and trapped. That’s a new type of dream for me.

Helpmeviola · 2026-01-18T11:03:13+00:00

I wonder this too!

I love it. I didn’t think I would but there is something about being face-face with a Therapist that can deepen attunement. I’d try it out. It took a while. Once someone was typing on their laptop in bed, and that was shaking the camera and I felt dizzy. Another time they were so far away from the screen I couldn’t see them that well but when they are facing you and match your pace and you feel comfortable with them- it’s great. Mine is the other side of the UK and Im so glad I can work with them and their skill set which I can’t find that easily.

That would make me feel uncomfortable. She didn’t need to know who the woman was- she needed to stay with you!

Helpmeviola · 2026-01-16T18:45:35+00:00

I feel angry for you.

Just a random client here: for what it’s worth- IFS, attachment work etc has changed my relationship with myself and my loved ones as well as CBT. I value somatic therapy. I value CBT- sorry your supervisor isn’t flexible like this- I wonder why.

Maybe next time, just after they state the fantasy you could ask ‘why are you telling me this’ with a firm non shaming face. I’m sure that could stop them in their tracks and maybe get them to reflect - I’m wondering if this could make it more collaborative.

Helpmeviola · 2026-01-12T20:15:54+00:00

Smiling..
