WARNING from ModTeam, September 2013: user "Shado
the therapist at the place i'm going asked me to make a list of the things i think affected me the most ,its hard to look at everything like in a progression you know, i mean its like the worst run of bad luck anyone could ever have! its like watching a movie where you just wanna jump in and help but you cant the movie was made a long time ago. its hard to go back into the mind of that little kid and try to decide which huge disaster should go where .also in the back of my mind is the question should i tell them everything? i mean really everything ,are there things that i dont wanna have to talk about ? will they make me? i'm working on the list but its going slow . as for the movie maybe it has a happy ending cause ms is in the last scene so far
 
Best to make a list of things you feel comfortable with, and tell the T that the list is not everything but things you feel safe with.
Dont worry, they wont ask you to talk about anything that is really bad.

MS is just part of the movie, but the bad bits are in the past, and the future is what to aim for,

Adam,

As I have said before, I think it's absolutely crucial for you that you enter this program with the idea you are going to be entirely honest about things.

That doesn't mean tell them everything. Their program isn't about that. But please, DO talk to this T who contacted you and let him know how complicated and serious your situation is. You could say something like this:

"You asked me to make a list of the things that have affected me the most, but I need to tell you that most of my life as a boy was dominated by abuse of various kinds. I don't remember ever feeling safe, and to be honest, I don't know where a list would even begin. I want to trust you, but this is really hard for me."

See what I mean? Honesty, but no details. You are still in control of your information. Try some version of this in your own words Adam, and see where this takes things. These people DO want to help you, but the relationship has to be two ways if they are really going to be effective for you.

Much love,
Larry
 
thanks guys i guess i just got to say ok here it is now fix it huh?
 
Adam i had the opertunity to go to a 10 day T session and i took it slow at !st as I got to know and trust my T. By the 4th day I knew that Ray was someone that I could realy open up to.

It was great to set down with Ray and know that I could talk as long as needed. No one hour session and total freedom to share my pain.

Take your time to get to know your T but if the trust is there share all with him.

Best of Luck. I will be thinking about your healing journy.Tom
 
Adam,

You are very much in my thoughts and always will be.

Love ya, and I'm glad that you are part of my family.
