@Birdofparadise8 I don’t want you take this the wrong way. I think it’s important to acknowledge your psych is not intentionally triggering emotions within in. The therapy process can be hard and a lot can come up, it can even signify recovery. Only you and your psych would know what it means. Sometimes we need to be challenged in order to grow, and we also have to learn to cope with our triggers. It’s not their fault they triggered you, likewise it’s not your fault. But ultimately the responsibility of managing emotions fall on us. I know in this scenario it’s a bit different since you’re psych is there to help you. But in other scenarios in relationships with others, the responsibility does not go to them. If someone forgets to respond to a text message, your trauma brain will tell you they don’t care, but the reality could be that they are overwhelmed and could not think up a response. You need to see beyond your response and look at things critically
