@Dimity   I can only guess things are going to take time until you are feeling settled.  I can only guess impact of last few weeks has physically drained you.  Do you think neighbours or friends can help whilst your confidence builds?  (Just a thought)

Fingers crossed, hoping this works

EMDR never felt right.  My psychologist would talk about it and my mind kept saying no, can’t do it.  After telling her this and saying I wanted to know all types of therapies she explained other therapy options.  Schema therapy felt comfortable almost as soon as she started explaining the process.  She gave me large set of questions to answer, outcome showed I rated high in 5, maybe 6, schemas.  We have had 2 sessions starting to go through each one.

somehow those questions caused areas of memories that have been locked for many years, some since early childhood, to open.  Things are slowly starting to make sense and I’m becoming a little bit more aware of how the different things in my past are impacting on my reactions.  Lots of questions were generated for which I will never get answers for.

its amazing the health benefits of having a pet.  Hoping having Tiger home has lots of positives for you both

sending lots of hugs
