>> well I guess you figured it out then. I, too, was losing hours after sessions so I gave myself a break- it's over a month now and those long periods of dissociation have gone down considerably.
Yeah but I took a break from all therapy from May until about September of this year. It was very, very difficult just functioning.
>> I'm not advocating taking a break for everyone, but how about an honest discussion with your therapist where she/he backs off and you don't plunge so deeply into your issues right now. at least through the holidays... best of luck- judy
Holidays schmolidays! I thank you for your consideration and have talked with my therp. about how and when to push or back off and currently we need to forge ahead. Even with the dissociation.....my life is somewhat structured such that I can handle this spacey existence I float through most of the time.
Hope you return to therapy well rested and ready to go again when the time is right for you.
