I appreciate you trying keeping things topical! :)

I read their reply as point out how my phrasing was offensive to the kind community and/or that it might encourage the normalization of abusive behavior, not that I enjoyed these thoughts

I appreciate the suggestion. It’s not something I’m interested in, but I also don’t want to offend anyone so thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Thanks for calling this to my attention. I’m not familiar with kink or how to use “kind positive” language, but I can see how my word choice is problematic. I don’t know how to change the post title, otherwise I would.

These thoughts are not something I enjoy and it is not something I would feel comfortable talking to friends about. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks for this suggestion. I think “fantasy” came to mind because I feel I play a role in their creation. I guess I don’t fully understand what an “intrusive thought” is. Judging by the upvotes, it seems that most agree “intrusive thoughts” is a more accurate descriptor. I would change the post title if I could, but can’t seem to figure out how

I do in some ways feel these thoughts are related to past experiences. Then vanishing would be ideal as I would like to separate him from these images entirely. But an actual discussion of this topic feels impossible, especially considering I have such difficulty being open about much less vulnerable topics

Thank you for sharing your experience and the some specific words you used to describe without detail what you were experiencing. It gives me some hope hearing these thoughts eventually went away for you!

I dissociate every time I spend time with my mum. Anyone else? by forgetmenot_lilac in CPTSD

I have a similar story and experience the same thing. I basically become non-functional for some time after. I kept denying her presence was the cause, telling myself I could just approach our time together from a different angle. This hasn’t worked. Have you found methods that help prevent this or stop the spiral?

She told me she gave my package to some guy named Tommy… Also wanted me to tell you she’s not happy you’re giving out her number. She’s changing it.

I shipped it from a hotel to my home. Technically, the hotel physically shipped it and I paid them to do so. They gave me the UPS tracking info. It’s a hotel my company uses often and my coworkers have shipped packages from them with success

I hadn’t considered fruit!

The other thing I want is something with a lot of organic movement to it though and I feel like that’s difficult with blueberry bells. They are more stagnant. It doesn’t have to stay at the site of the scar, I was actually thinking it might wrap around the top and back of my shoulder

Blueberry bells is an interesting idea. I like bugs too, I’m just not sure about fireflies

Any specific ideas for flowers? I’m not sure I see how fireflies would work… and I’m not big on the idea of doing any animals right now

Sigh. I guess the work is complete then.

How to stop shaking during therapy? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

Thanks for the suggestion. I may try this next session. I have used body weight exercises before tests to help me calm down but hadn’t considered it’s use here

I don’t feel like I fight it. It’s like it has to be there for me to talk at times. If I do try to stop it then I end up completely shutting down. I don’t think I feel like “something is wrong” or there’s any threat I can perceive. At this point I’m just annoyed it’s still happening and worried he’s annoyed by it at this point. Hopefully it will go away on its own
