@mike2014, I also think this is a great idea, and I completely agree with @Forest on the benefits of collecting information. @Ellen, I love your suggestions. I agree that using a Likert scale combined with more specific questions would provide more useful information than an open feedback form...

Echoing everyone here, I'm both super happy it went well (YAY!) and sorry to hear about bedbugs (ugh). I'm very happy to have read this in particular: That is AWESOME! YAY! :happy: Also, this: It's AMAZING that in just 5 hours you were able to identify the fear of abandonment, understand how...

I am REALLY intrigued by this approach. I think its effectiveness definitely depends on the therapist you have. Seems it's almost extra-important to feel 100% safe and comfortable with the practitioner you're working with for ISTDP (though I'd also argue that it's important to feel safe and...

I literally lost my sh*t (in a really good way) when I saw that video...I could NOT stop laughing! That was yesterday morning. I re-watched it today because I knew I wanted to respond to this thread and I am laughing all over again! Some things tickle me in such a way that just thinking about...

Hahahahaha, this is fantastic. Selective hearing indeed - perhaps it's wishful thinking made audible? :rolleyes: I do this a lot too. But often I just completely mishear things. You know how some people totally butcher speech (pronunciation of names, foreign words, etc)? My ears just butcher...

Realizing that in less than three days, you are going to see two awesome cousins, who really might as well be your brothers, who you haven't seen in about a year...ah, is this not happiness! :happy:

This bunny. Because it's so. Freakin. Cute. Ah, is this not happiness! :joyful:

Pretty! And so true :)

Wahoo! Congrats, Solange!! @hoolie is right - your story is very inspiring. I think it absolutely will help someone! I fully echo Forest in saying CONGRATS on all your success! :D

Hi Layne, First of all, I think you are definitely doing the process right. I don't think going "willy nilly" is something you need to worry about! It sounds like the conversations with both parts were very organic. I know I tend to over-analyze things. I can get caught up in what a particular...

@Gigalos, what do you mean?

@North Star, I also read Mala's post as a reminder of how important it is to be checked out by a doctor (preferably one who knows about TMS) to rule out structural causes. There's a reason Forest often says that this is a peer community and that people should see a TMS physician to rule out...

Hey Caroline, I totally relate - I'm in a similar situation with my sister. Like you, I asked folks here for advice, and got some pretty great replies about how to talk to others about TMS. (Feel free to read through the thread if you think it'd be useful...
