Your answer to Question 6 was really on-point for me. I'm struggling with something where I really want to try to figure out why I do it, and I'm in the exact cycle you described - feeling like I know better, but I don't do better. I'm going to try to do what you said - stay in the moment and distract myself from analyzing the past or future too much. I'll report back on how it works.
Thank you for this, Kati. Self harm is extremely prevalent in my life. I also over analyze everything, like you said. I want to know the why. And I know what I should do, but I can't make myself do it. I'm great at giving advice (I've had people tell me I missed my calling as a therapist, but I feel that I'm too fucked up), but I can't make myself do the things I'm suggesting to other people! I will say on the self harm side, though, that one medication I have found that helps with the urges to self harm and to binge eat is Naltrexone. I know it was originally used for opioid addictions, but I've had great luck with it helping to control my urges and make it easier to ride them out. I know you're not a psychiatrist, but for anyone out there who reads this and struggles with self harm, binge eating, or other urges, I would suggest talking to your med provider about possibly giving Naltrexone a try if you're really struggling. As always, a wonderful video, Kati. Thank you for taking the time to help us all. 💙💙💙💙💙
On “lost time” for me those are the moments when I cannot 100% say with certainty, that I had dissociated but recognized that I wasn’t aware or paying attention to my surroundings. I know I can’t be “on” or aware of everything but fibromyalgia has given me that ability- physical symptoms (aware, check) mentally aware? No. how long was I gone?What did I miss? Was I gone long enough to have dissociated again? Disgusted frustrated and scared followed by self hatred…. And such It’s all part of my spiral
How do i submit a question? I think i have an issue when i disappeared when i was a young child and no one knows what happened to me, i dont remember and i was gone for hours, i was 2-3 years old but i was also a different child in kindergarten when i remember i couldnt play with other children as parents said to my parents at 5 that i was too wild. I also had a time with a child care worker where we showed his man member - around 7 ish - but i think we ask him - i really think something was not right from a young age

This was so interesting, thank you!❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kati , you always have something I need. I do the escape into rationalizing all the time.
Think about WHY later! First stop the bleeding.
Thanks. ❤
Keep going!
I'm enjoying what you do
I may not relate to everything, but I'm not everybody
Keep going! I love your work

I had my feelings dealt with years ago during my childhood on Vulcan...
Self injury isn’t always cutting, hitting, punching , scratching,
I thought I was having this, (intrusive thoughts) but it was hypervigilence.
♥️♥️
