I am absolutely loving your answer about the dissociation with SH and SI for question 5. I was actually wondering about this, as I have wondered how many people were actually dissociated when they unintentionally committed suicide, and they tried to "come to," but it was too late. This included myself when I was inpatient shortly after my trauma last year, as I was super suicidal, and I was super afraid that I was going to lose that control and end up either self harming (which I had never done) or attempting suicide......super scary to think about, actually.

Thank you so much! As I (maybe, if I feel stable enough) want to become a therapist myself, the question about working with clients that may be triggering was really interesting to me. Currently I get triggered all the time, so I think it won't go away completely, but what you said about your friend really gave me hope that I can do that too. Thx!

Thank you Kati for all you you do for us! I still have some anxiety of not wearing a mask in public, though I am trying to ease into it. I had a Covid test today because I haven't been tested before had because I had some soreness and chills a couple of days ago. I've gotten both vaccinations and it's been 2 months but I just wanted peace of mind. It came back negative so that does help me feel better about going out with my face uncovered again. Surprisingly to me, It took 5 minutes at the Walgreens drive through and the test results were back in an hour.

@AlexxWoodwick 3 года назад

Question #1 is exactly what I needed Thank you. And although there has been no differences in my partner, he is as solid as ever ( unlike myself at times ) sometimes I feel like that’s why I start to question the relationship is because it hasn’t changed. We have not progressed. Meaning we don’t have our own place together just him & I. In previous relationships we had our own place by 1 year. I stay over at his place, I basically live there, however it’s his grandmas house and his other siblings reside there as well. And recently we got booted from the master bedroom (large room with a bathroom, 3 closets, etc you get the point) to a shitty made “room” in the garage that was converted. And we’ve had to move the bed multiple times so people can get under the house for whatever reason -hook up water pipes, air duct etc( the entire house is being renovated ) so now we are in A tiny ass room 9x9 with no window, no closet, and the access to the crawl space is through a hole in our room behind our bed where our pillows are. Oh and we had a king size bed but had to get a new bed because it wouldn’t fit in the new room I mean shoe box were given. And we had to get rid of our piano, our dresser, a night stand, 4 shelf bookcase, pretty much everything. I am very hurt as this was my only safe haven that I feel was abruptly taken from me and we where never asked how we feel about it or if it was even going to be okay. I’m having a very hard time and am sinking into a never ending pit of darkness. I keep thinking if I just stay asleep forever maybe one of these times I wake up it will actually be a dream and all my problems will go away. I guess I had this picture of a future we where building together and now it’s like we are not on the same page about life and future plans. I don’t know what to do. And he refuses to stand up for himself or say anything to his family who is making all these decisions. I’ve asked him like are they just going to decide the rest of your life for you? And he think I’m joking and just laughs and says yes. He never takes me seriously. I feel like I’ve put my life on hold for him for years now for what? I don’t know I need advice. I guess I’m afraid that I wasted my time invested in someone to loose it all. I’ve had that happen before and am terrified of it happening again. I worked very hard to creat a life I always wanted with my ex I had the picture perfect family white picket fence and all and feel like I have ptsd from how that ( being my last relationship ) ended. Sometimes I feel like I’m settling because I don’t want to put in the work to another person or new relationship that will take years to build. I’m 27 and have a 5 year old daughter. I just want someone who can provide and treat us well. Sometimes I feel like I put unrealistic expectations on my boyfriend that I had on my head and didn’t convey to him and that’s not fair. But what am I supposed to live in his grandma’s garage forever?? Please some advice if you choose to read my ramblings

I mean I've been through many traumas in my life and been working before covid with my therapist on my ocd anxiety depression anorexia and many issues with covid especially being a doctor and seeing a lot of patients dying in my hands and catching covid although I'm the most careful person Sent me back a bit and made me start an ssri which I think helped because I can know get over my obsession of harming people especially my parents faster I've been trying to get back to the way it was before but I don't think I can do that I really tried I took small steps I ate at the hospital today since a year but I still don't remove my mask except when alone and I never eat with anyone or see my friends without a mask or go out I'm pretty comfortable with that I don't if that's horrible but I think this is like my limit so thank u for sharing this made me feel good Thank you for ur help

ih my psych social program started back recently if you have been vaccinated you don't have to keep wearing a mask except for on transportation they started back like mid march after basically a year phone calls only but i didn't start going back until Wednesday and started out 1 day a week some are going 4 days a week rn and some still haven't stepped in to the building you're so right we have to practice patience and compassion with each other

@anano1015 3 года назад

Thank you for this podcast! Always love it! I dont know what to think about this whole 'pandemic is over' thing. Is it really over? Did i miss something? It's going better but it's far from over, at least where I live (not the us). I admire your compassion but i'm still at the stage where I'm mad at everyone not following the rules, I wish I had more compassion but it's hard. Evreyone says I'm the anxious one so i don't know, am I the problem? I don't know, maybe i'm overly traumatized and I don't even realize it, I'm still being as careful ad I was a year ago but I feel like I'm the only one caring and it's frustrating.

@AmethystWoman 3 года назад

I agree. People in the US are being foolish IMHO. Britain is getting more cases again. India is in a very grief stricken, heart-breaking situation. We are barely 50% vaccinated. The world still has tens of thousands of deaths a day but people in the US, well, many still don't believe the pandemic is real. I'm wearing a mask. And will for a long time to come. This isn't over. We can't wish it away. I'm glad the US has decided to give some of our vaccine to other countries who will appreciate it because it was going to go bad and here, people won't take it even free. I'm with ya. I fear by the end of August, we'll be in a huge mess again with crazy variants. But yeah, people blame my anxiety. And my mom died of covid. And I was very sick for 9 months with a very mild case and now have asthma for life with an inhaler. A VERY MILD CASE. The kind you can still get with a vaccination. We will see. Hope I'm wrong. Stay safe. Follow your gut. Don't let society tell you what is safe for you! None of us know. It's a weird thing isn't it? And it's great to leave the house and be able to see friends. 😁💜 (Safely.)

@DrummerGrrrl 3 года назад

I have taken part in four or five antidepressant medical research studies and can honestly tell people that potential antidepressant medications, like any other medication being developed, are THOROUGHLY tested. I had to sign a truckload of paperwork for each study and had to be interviewed by many psychiatrists before, during, and up to a year after my participation. I knew exactly what I was getting into long before I began a drug trial. Also, regarding black box warnings, say 10,000 people participate in a drug trial for Esketamine (I was in two different studies for it). If even ONE person has a weird reaction to the study medication, the F.D.A. requires the drug manufacturer to list that one side effect. All those potential side effects can scare the crap out of people and make them very hesitant to try a new medication. I wish more people knew about the tiny percentages of some of the more odd side effects. "Taking Esketamine might cause your hair to turn green". I'm joking with that example but my point is that ANY side effect, no matter how unbelievable it might sound has to be listed per F.D.A. rules. The more you know about medications (the truth, not some story you heard from somebody's cousin who heard from his brother's best friend), the more you can make an informed decision. I hope this long-winded post helps someone.

@DrummerGrrrl 3 года назад

I'm an absolute wreck without my antidepressant, Venlafaxine (Effexor). Seriously. Without it I'm paranoid, my O.C.D. is off the charts bad, I cry at the drop of a hat and I get manic--staying up for 48 hours to frantically paint (I'm a semi-professional acrylic painter) and then feeling a deep despair if the painting(s) don't "look right". Depression runs in my immediate family and on both my mom's side and my dad's side of the family. Yeah, there was a LOT of pushback from my extended family and even some from my sisters. However, that changed, finally. I always do best when I combine talk therapy WITH medication. And...all my sisters take antidepressants now.

Please. I have questions about autism that were given hearts more than a month ago: Why are a lot of therapists unwilling to work with autistic clients even if they're not coming to therapy for their autism? (And the follow-up) : Are there common challenges for people with autism when they're in mental health recovery? Thank you!

@AmethystWoman 3 года назад

I agree with Loni. I think it's a really good thing for a therapist to say no when they are not equipped to help their client get the best care they can. Same with trauma. Katie is very up front about trauma not being her specialty. And I'm sure other therapists have referred to her because she does have specialties. In the US, Psychology.com is a good way to find a therapist. And calling mental health agencies who accept your insurance and asking is good or asking for referrals on autism FB or depression pages noting you live neurodivergent. It's like if I was dual-diagnosed and in therapy for bipolar issues. I would still need a therapist who understood addiction. I understand it's frustrating for sure. But there is someone out there who will be perfect. Best of luck. I just found someone who helps people with trauma but who also live with chronic physical conditions esp auto-immune stuff. They exist. I consider myself neuro-divergent and I think many therapists these days understand more than they used to. But I am DID. I have to see someone who understands that also. Which can be very difficult. I'm fortunate in that regard. My best. 😁💜 Oh, if you have sexual abuse stuff of any kind, pandys.org is a great website. There are people there who live well with autism/Aspergers/neuro-divergence who can be very supportive. 🤟🏽

I judge myself for my allergy pills. They mean I'm too lazy to figure out how to get symbiotic helminths and attempt a permanent solution. And I judge anyone who takes a statin because statins are phenomenally stupid and aren't taken in response to unpleasant symptoms. The only reason I don't judge people for SSRIs is that sometimes you're in a position of being definitely screwed with no treatment and only probably screwed with treatment, and in such a situation you'll try anything. They're pure vending machine kicking, but if you're starving you'll kick a vending machine and be correct to do so.
