Emotional

When talking about my fears, I tend to get really emotional.. like so emotional it makes it really difficult to communicate with anyone who asks. Does anyone have any tips? I feel like the first step in moving forward in the way that I want is to be able to communicate and figure out what i want and how i want to move forward. Any help is majorly appreciated, be well everyone!

It always helps to know that we’re not alone with our struggles, and that someone out there can relate.. so I thank you for that! ✨

Hi Clarissaaa_01 . Thanks for sharing so openly. I am the same way. It can be hard to even talk. I once had a therapist that told me to WhatsApp him messages so that I could speak when I wanted - in bursts that I wanted - when I was ready. Instead of necessarily during the session. I cried but it was helpful. I now use online message therapy with a really great therapist. Maybe that could be helpful. I stay anonymous (maybe I shouldn’t but i do!) and I have a really great connection - and I connect when I want to for as long or short as I want to. Maybe that would help? Just thinking. ✌️

That sounds amazing.. do you pay for the therapy on whatsapp? I would love to hear more about this if you wouldn’t mind! It sounds like it would be helpful!

Hey Clarissaaa_01 . Sure! My old therapist was in person, and between meetings I was able to leave messages on WhatsApp so that I could be real. It was part of working with him. And then I made my big move to online messaging therapy (Text therapy). Believe it or not that is the only therapy I have now and I find it amazing amazing. My therapist is top notch and I send her messages whenever I want - she really knows me and I am making a lot of progress. I am so happy with it! I would be wary though - there are a few sites. I use one specifically recommended by my therapist. I think it was even started by therapists. Good luck!! 👌

Communicating our sorrows and pains and fears are always difficult to do. It leaves us very vulnerable when we open up that way. Try to find one person you know well and trust to start with. Start with small things and give it time. Hugs.
