I left after about 15 minutes, with most of that time being used up in Jo reassuring me that she hadn't been abused or pushed. I'm not sure how the other woman who see Jo reacted, but it was too much for us. Jo said there were no breaks, but she looked fairly well banged up. I see her again in a fortnight, so hopefully she'll be well mended by then.

I know what you say is true, it just felt so yucky and self-fish at the time - I wasn't the one in bandages after all. Jo was really worried when she realised how badly I was freaking out. She ended up calling Liz (regular therapist) and expressing her concern, which was a little disconcerting considering that I thought I had it fairly well contained at the time. I was better when there were other people around, but when it was just Jo and I, I lost it. Take care of yourself, Sending lots of positive thoughts your way, CG Thank you Kate… I know what you say is true, it just felt so yucky and self-fish at the time – I wasn’t the one in bandages after all.

I know what a hard thing this must have been for you to deal with! I wouldn't have been able to continue the therapy session either, way too triggering. Hope you're feeling better now...

You have nothing to feel guilty about, though. I do think Jo will be touched that you care. I also hope you're home and safe. I'm around if you want to talk. ((Safe hugs)) Kerro I’m so sorry, CG.

Too much triggering, I would have had to reschedule. You are strong and brave to have stayed. I hope Joe is healing nicely, tho. My best to you and I hope you're feeling safe and calm.

We were worried for her, but the overwhelming message came about us being hurt. Feeling so pathetic and weak for not showing someone the care that they needed." Okay here is the deal, this is therapy, you are not expected to make this about her. It is okay when you are triggered. Yous have very good reasons for doing so and reacting as you did. It is okay to be coping with your own stuff in therapy. She will know that you care. Good and healing thoughts to you. Kate Hello,
