2019-06-21 12:48:44 +0000 UTC01:12:51 - In reference to Kati’s personal experience with a cheating boyfriend - What did you (Kati) learn that allowed you to move past the situation and make it easier today to let go and forgive others for making mistakes or hurt they may be responsible for? 01:19:33 - How do I deal with finding a new therapist when my other BetterHealth therapist very suddenly disappears - likely due to severe health issues. How do I get closure? 01:26:06 - How do I teach myself to actually USE the healthy coping mechanisms I’ve learned rather than automatically using ED or SH coping skills during the difficult moment. 01:30:28 - When trauma is a constant part of my job how do I take care of myself and manage my emotions? Especially with a past of trauma/violence and coping skills that result in emotion being removed from traumatic situations. How do I learn to acknowledge and move through my emotions instead of stuffing them down and getting overwhelmed? 01:36:25 - Stress of exams and C-PTSD. After trusting my instincts on a date and it ending badly I no longer trust my own judgment. How do I find the balance between lowering my guard down and being naive? How do I know if I’m in danger or if it is hyper-vigilance? 01:42:27 - I really want to travel but am scared of going solo. It’s very expensive, I hate spending and am concerned about chronic pain making it depressing. If I take this huge step alone I’m concerned my dreams won’t come true. 01:48:01 - I find it very difficult saying no to people. I don’t know how to get out of uncomfortable situations without hurting peoples feelings. Why is it so hard to say no - any advice on how to navigate it?

2019-06-21 03:29:07 +0000 UTC8:50-How to deal w/ an abuser’s death, how are you allowed to feel about it. 13:50-How to deal w/ an ex-partner’s death, how are we allowed to feel about it. 15:45-How to build trust w/ a therapist, what about other people in our life? 22:10 My therapist asked my if I’ve ever considered a romantic relationship & I shut down. I’ve never been in a relationship & only had drunk sex. The idea of sober sex & sex in general terrifies me. I push people away & don’t understand why they’d want anything to do with me. I feel that I’m saving them the embarrassment of dealing with me. Why do u think this is? 25:50 I’m on week 15 of 26 at an eating disorder. I’m replied by my weight restored & I hate what I see in the mirror. I don’t need to love my body, I’m ok just being indifferent to it. How can I ever be ok with what I see. 32:30- 2 months ago my friend screenshot of Snapchats my boyfriend of 12yrs sent her, w/ captions hitting on her. He denied it at 1st but when I showed him the pics he said he was “bored”. He had sent one right after we had just had sex. My therapist mentioned that he may have been bored sexually. He then said he wanted to break up but I wanted to save my 12yr relationship. We’ve been working on it a lot & now my relationship is thriving. My boyfriend does a lot for me, but now I feel like I’m the problem. I feel pressure to do things sexually that I don’t feel comfortable doing. Because of a history of childhood sexual abuse, I dissociate a lot when we’re doing theses things. I’m starting to resent him & sabotage the relationship. My therapists says maybe I’m uncomfortable w/ being in a healthy relationships w/ someone who shows that care for me, but I think it’s because the Snapchat thing was never resolved & being pressured to sexually please him. 40:05- How can I help people understand my eating disorders when my weight may have not changed substantially to either extreme, just fluctuates. Hidden it so well for so many years that sometimes I have convince myself I have one. I know my therapist believes me but I’m worried others won’t. I’ve struggled with bulima which has caused more damage internally, teeth, skin, etc, more then it ever helped me loose weight. I'm afraid my weight is the 1st thing my friends & family will point out & night cause then to not believe me. Fear of not having that support is stopping me from moving forward & worried I'm going to go backwards. 46:40- I’m a professional viola player. I studied under a teacher who was emotionally abusive. I understand that the horrible things he said to me were not subjective but for some reason I can’t move past feeling like they are true. My old therapist told me it’s not that big of a problem because I wasn’t “raped or anything like that & he was only my teacher & not my boyfriend”. I’m w/ a new therapist now but haven’t talked w/ them about this cause not sure they will take me seriously. Is it too silly to talk about in therapy? 53:10-I’m still crippled by OCD, just finished intense yr of CBT & ERP therapy & nothing has changed. Gave 100%, worked really hard, did all the homework, exposure, etc. Therapist is great but feel like I’ve wasted a year. Is it time to accept this is my life & stop trying to change or improve it? 58:25-How do I know if I’m just done. I have no motivation to do anything. Feeling guilt & ashamed about it. I know I should eat better & exercise but I just don’t. When do I know I’m just done. 1:02:30- What is the difference btw psychology evaluation & psychiatrist evaluation. 1:05:45- What is a healthy relationship? What kind of key elements define a healthy relationship?
