I wish I could find a good balance to get some peace in my life aswell!
Luckely I don't do any medications (also 0 drugs & 0 alcohol for me). The sessions are mostly EMDR (trauma therapy) and Psychotherapy. The idea is that during the days you are not in a session you are reflecting on what you learned , even if that feels uncomfortable. For I am not really embraching/ enduring that uncomfortable feeling and really reflecting - but still look for things I can control (like running performance or getting in summer shape), They basicly want me to try and let go the urge to fight the uncomfortable feelings by fleeing into sport performance so I can make time to really process sessions and give the past a place.
My goal would also be to be able to do some sports to just enjoy and for health benefits. Will get there step by step! 🙏🙌
