Hello, I’m a patient. Regulation is a steep challenge for me.
You’re mainly focusing on how the session goes and how/where/when to intervene and redirect towards stability. However, what I experience in sessions is very different to how it evolves outside of therapy sessions, in my daily life. It seems to be getting worse and find the breathing and grounding techniques quite inefficient and certainly insufficient. The greater part of my time is spent out of the weekly session. You, as professionals, only see how you’re managing yourself and how you’re working with the client. It’s an hour, or however long. But what if the client is drowning in what is uncovered and finally un-repressed after a life-long coping repression? I don’t expect an answer from you directly, but would appreciate you suggesting some reading or YouTube videos that you believe could be helpful to me. Thank you 🙏
Hello sorry for our delay in responding. I don’t give out any recommendations related to clients work due to the very delicate and nuanced nature of trauma healing. I invite you to consider talking with your therapist about the struggles and seeing if they have any suggestions or recommendations. We wish you well in your healing journey.
