Yes. Therapies are bringing up so much that processing it all is a full time job. I'm writing and printing out and drawing and creating and doing all I can to get out what is coming out from such intense work. The dissociation is unlike I've experienced before though. It isn't the same as when I was in the moments of trauma and floating above or to the side........but instead more like memory fogs and not really realizing how I've gotten from one week to the next.
That and having my therapist or another woman from the group give me feedback at the end of a group session and to have that feedback seem so at odds to how I feel....such as them saying I seemed so much calmer after the group then when I came in, much more 'here' and attached.......when in reality I felt far more detached after group that night.
Drifting off....
