Hello,

I am experiencing a terror in my stomach. I feel afraid as I process trauma and experience the unpredictability of daily life. I was recently fired from a job due to impulsivity, echolalia, offensive behaviors, and overall cognitive confusion. I have been processing through CPT to help me heal and become who I want to be for myself and my household. I feel ashamed that I lash out in anger when I long to have my needs met and I experience disappointment. I am also working through a DBT skills workbook each day to help me process things and calm my mind and nervous system.

I have been in therapy since 2017. I appreciate the freedom I've experienced from using Cognitive Behavior Therapy skills to resolve trauma wounds. I am thankful that my wife and I are on track to work through our concerns, using the Gottman Method and help from a professional that we plan to meet with tomorrow afternoon. I am thankful that my wife shows me as much grace as she does when I respond without kindness. I am thankful that my wife holds me accountable to heal and grow and treat her the way that she is worth.

Are there any free video support meetings?

Thank you,

Zack_S

I'm sorry you're struggling right now sweetie. Instead of lashing out at your family when your needs aren't meet,meet your own needs . Ask your therapist to help you with this. Good luck 👍
