Empathy Only Starting trauma therapy soon

[Slowdive]

Hi everyone,

I am starting trauma therapy in September. The therapist has already contacted me and booked it. I’m nervous because I’ve never had trauma therapy before but I think it will help me greatly with having borderline personality disorder. I have been in other therapy but it didn’t work that well, I did manage to understand myself more though and my behaviour to a degree. So I do not regret the therapy I have had over the years. Some of my behaviours I used to have years ago, I no longer have. I’m happy about that.
The switch between emotions dramatically is still there. I am hoping it will go well.

I'm glad you contacted a therapist. It's understandable that you're nervous but I hope it will turn out that it goes really well.

Did someone recommend trauma therapy to you?

Hi. I’m on disability for PTSD among other things. Point is, in therapy, we talk about/deal with some pretty heavy shit sometimes. But a good therapist will be patient and gentle with you, understand this isn’t easy for you, like mine is with me. Hopefully that’s the case.

I‘ve also had several rounds or therapy that didn’t really do anything. I kinda distrusted the process, until I finally found one who knew how to identify the issues at play and address them. Hopefully this is what you need, this is what will help.

Sorry, I just wanted to show why I think I can relate, didn’t mean to make it about me. Just hoping this works for you, if it does it can really help. You’re not wrong to be anxious, it will be hard, but it can do so much good especially if you end up with the right person.

Hope this works for you.
