( Various methods of treatment in the psychotherapy field.Collapse )

• Are you currently / have you previously been in counseling?  What types of psychotherapy are / were you exposed to?
• Which (if any) methods work(ed) best for you?  Which (if any) were problematic?
• What remaining questions and/or concerns do you have regarding any of these treatment options?

Bonus question:

• What non-traditional methods of coping do you consider your own personal modes of "therapy"?

( Cut for talk of therapy, counseling, etc.Collapse )


This week's questions are:

- Do you participate in therapy or peer counseling?

- What type of therapy works best for you?

- Do you prefer therapy to be a long-term treatment, or short-term/as-needed?

If I have missed any triggers, please let me know ASAP and I'll fix them! <3

( Trigger warnings: Fantasies/CSA/Self-love/porn/etc.; Interrupted fantasy; setting: r*****'s apartment; manipulation; r*** vs assault; therapy; brief mention of kink/fetish/BDSMCollapse )

This is my first post, so I'm sorry if I missed out any warnings. Some if it is detailed.

( Can be triggering, talk of possible molestation by family members, use of word r**e, object use, sodomy, death of a child, depression, Self-harm, anxiety disorder, miscarriage if I missed anything I'm really sorryCollapse )

So, I'm nearing the end of my first month of an outpatient treatment program - I start week four on Tuesday night (Monday is a holiday here). While therapy itself is interesting, I'm still nowhere near actually connecting to my emotions when I speak about my history.

( Non-graphic mention of child abuse, rape, self-harm, suicidal ideation & other stuffCollapse )
I hope everyone here is doing well. *hugs* to you who need it. Thanks for reading.
