Jet, sorry your doc was angry, but glad you are back on track.
Andrew, I have not seen them, will check them out.
Now a question, do any of you ever have moments when talking to a friend who is crossing your boundaries where you flash back into an earlier time of trauma. Where you get a sort of "this is familiar" rush of anger and pain at the same time?
Where you want to be there for this person, but you KNOW what they are saying is not the entire truth and that though their motives are likely not bad, they are trying to manipulate you into being on their side?
The tone of voice, the words....I have heard them all before....from someone who is dead. The catch in the voice, the tears, the anger.
The burning of my own mind as I wonder how somehow the words "I need a break for my own mental health" are somehow not enough.
Anyone had this happen? How did you handle it? I have therapy this afternoon. Just I wondered is this something that happens to all of us? Are we more susseptible to manipulators?
