That is a great idea, don't know why I had the two so completely disconnected.
My Therapist suggested the same thing you did for coping, write journal entries like I'm talking/writing directly to him...it might even be more freeing. I asked him what happens when he then "forgets" about something that I *thought* I told him...but only actually wrote down. He said he covers well, not to worry, and besides, people get mad at him all the time for stuff he did in their dreams so he is use to this kind of disconnect. LOL
My "homework" is really hard. I need to have a conversation with someone about how their plans are going to affect me -- and why I'm so freaked out about the changes that are coming. I don't want to take the wind out of their sail...so I've just been supportive and haven't said much about my concerns. I think my Therapist is going to kill me soon though if I don't speak up -- on Monday he said I needed to recognize that I was being retraumatized again, and he was going to "make" me write 1,000 times: My needs count too. Then he backs off and acknowledges how hard this is for me.
*sigh* *SIGH* I think I'll practice what I need to say by writing it down. Then I'm gonna color.
