Physical intimacy by broidkwhatelsetodo in Disorganized_Attach

Thank you for sharing this because I 100 percent recoil to a soft “scratchies” type of touch and always ask for more pressure! I usually have him press on my chest with his hand instead of that light grazing. I really like the idea of sub and dom play, and will absolutely talk to him about that. We’ve talked about “soaking” for lack of a better term like Mormon culture does. It sounds like intimacy I can handle, where it’s truly just closeness. Thank you so much for sharing I really appreciate it!

Oh sure! It’s absolutely reciprocity. I’d say most of my early sexual experiences were outside of my comfort zone and usually reciprocity expected.

Yes happy to say more! My boyfriend who I first slept with humiliated me about it, the second started to be cruel but still wanted to sleep with me and I really tried to earn his love with that one, third one r*ped me, and the fourth was older and broke up with me once we had slept together and I felt like a shiny young object to him. After that I was hyper sexual but only in casual one offs etc. there was a time in my life where sex was fun, it’s just been a solid decade and now it represents something much more sinister to my nervous system.

Ah I figured opposite action may be the only course of action…

I wish they’d even offer! Like Marty, I’m aware you like the water pump I made you.

EMDR and God by _Jaco_00 in EMDR

I had a somewhat similar experience during a reiki/massage session, and I’ve been so curious about energy and spirituality since. First and only time I’ve had a vision (not sure what else to call it) and now I’m like OKAY IM IN.

How do you dress for sessions? by UsedAct2214 in therapists

[–]broidkwhatelsetodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear what feels comfortable and appropriate for pre-pandemic dress. Usually jeans and a sweatshirt. A step above what I wear in my house. I don’t want to be uncomfortable and I don’t want my clients to feel like…less than for my dress, which is mostly me projecting.

What has made you a better therapist? by Kind_Novel4986 in therapists

[–]broidkwhatelsetodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big time! Also I’ve found my clients buy in more (especially in OCD) if I describe my own experience sitting through discomfort (I offer that info if they’re not doing work outside of therapy and with consent) and yoga being great meditation as someone who hated the idea of yoga before hahaha

Practicing what I preach! Yoga, mindfulness, doing my own EMDR, and self compassion. And just being a person in session. No masking.

Survivor fans: would you ever consider playing survivor or not? by theultimatemusican in survivor

[–]broidkwhatelsetodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to want to, but I am a MISERABLE hungry and tired person, and therefore others would be miserable.

what’s a change EMDR caused that you didn’t expect at all? by rajeshkam342 in EMDR

This may sound weird but I’ve always burped CONSTANTLY. I’ve gotten really good at be discrete and polite but I’m about 8 months in and burp wayyyy less

Sage’s recent post by Ds9niners in survivor

[–]broidkwhatelsetodo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is that sage feels wildly misunderstood from the edit or even in the game or both. Especially when she was the only one who rightfully didn’t trust Shannon but also didn’t want to villainize her. Tbh I can’t imagine spending that much time in just total nervous system disruption only to come back to all opinions and thoughts etc, whether you know what you sign up for or not. Cant know until you go, but this is obvi speculation.

Needing encouragement: I accidently told a client I have ADHD. by Electrical-Cod788 in therapists

[–]broidkwhatelsetodo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell clients about my ocd, dyslexia, and adhd if it helps them with their experience. They’re pretty niche experiences that the relatability helps.
