#finally progress

[goldkirk]

- didn’t get into detail or mention any of the things that cost me sleep lately RE: sensations and fear and threats

- DID get through a really basic outline of the timeline of grooming and abuse

- did get through a discussion about whether anyone’s listened or asked about it and if anyone besides me knows details (no)

- did give a bit of financial fraud and nepotism corruption background

- did mention the way I believed my parents were wrong about him bc he was always nice to ME so I figured it was a Skill Issue thing from other people not being nice enough to him

- did get through me being allowed to express my verbal description of my role/gullibility/fault/etc. as I’m feeling it without being interrupted

- did NOT get grilled about anything

- did NOT get freaked out on and asked if I was a risk for self harm or suicide just because I brought up a difficult topic

- DID get allowed to talk in circles about unrelated stuff for forty minutes first and then pivot in one sentence with no warning—instead of being interrupted because the other person couldn’t handle the topic change so suddenly

- did NOT get made to feel like I had to stick with one part and give details before moving on or I wouldn’t be believed

- did get promised a session again next week just like usual instead of getting dropped or avoided

- did NOT experience the end of the world

- DID manage to stop kicking myself for not using the whole hour or going into the details that freak me out. I only crabbed at myself for not doing it for a couple minutes before I got to realizing “dude the fact that you were finally able to say ANYTHING as fact at all, much less for fifteen minutes straight, is a huge win, you were trying to do that for MONTHS, dude just TAKE THE W”

Finally...Progress | Gabienna

Sienna gave her sister one more tight hug before she climbed into the backseat of her aunt and uncle’s car. Sienna and Cleo had been exceptionally quiet that morning and it had everything to do with the fact that her younger sister was leaving for Connecticut again. Gabe had joined them for an early breakfast--though she was sure the smells of pancakes woke him up--and she was welcoming the company during a time when she just wanted to cry. 

As she waved off the car, Sienna didn’t feel like returning to her now lonely apartment. In fact, she wished she was in the car with them. Her sister--besides Zander--was the one person who completely understood her, though with the way Gabe was being surprisingly silent, perhaps he was beginning to catch on to her. Her fingers toyed with her keys in her hand and she looked down at them silently. Looking up at Gabe, she held off as much emotion she could but knew it was futile. “Want to go for a walk?”
