Therapy has been good and fascinating! I think I know the coping skills I need to do and I know the language/lingo of some select emotions that I feel. I have a habit of falling back on a lot of the advice and guidance that I get in therapy–I think it’s because I have such intrusive thoughts and anxiety that overwhelm me. I can’t figure out how to calm this anxiety yet. I feel I know what to do, but I have not been able to actually find some sense of control.

I think it’s not our faults because we have a lot of trauma and unresolved issues and we inadvertently trigger each other. I think it is our faults because we have not established ways to self-soothe and work on our unresolved issues and trauma.
