I’m new here!
Hi, my name is tmwake. I'm here because I was in a 5yr relationship (marriage) where I seriously thought I had met my soul mate! Turns out he was extremely narcissistic and didn’t realize the extent of just how bad until I was able to finally leave and come home from Wyoming & read up on it. My marriage in the end (the last year) of it was not only mentally & emotionally abusive but also physically. I know I need counseling, therapy something to bring me out of the trauma I’d endured however, my problem is I fear that once I find a therapist or whatever I’m gonna get 3-6mons into progression and they’re going to leave. Take a new job, move or whatever. I fear this because before I met my last therapist I had 4 before her that I had been switched too because either they moved, accepted another position etc. Same happened with my mental health professional that prescribes my antidepressants. I had 3 before her. When she left tho she started her own practice & there were a few of her clients she was taking with her & I was one of them, THANK THE LORD! Anyway, I thought maybe this may be a starting point I guess to start healing as I’ve never felt or been thru the kind of issues I guess I created, to deal with the situation I was in. For example, disassociation, hypervigilance, emotional numbness etc. I know I’m not crazy even tho he made me feel crazy due to reactive abuse. However, I now know it wasn’t me. Anyway, that’s the short version and rundown of my story. Thanks for listening/reading my post. TMWake
