This is something I've only just figured out how to do! I still need a lot of practice with it, my handoff is awkward and stilted and doesn't always work, but I'm a little proud that I can still learn new coping mechanisms and strategies even at this comparatively later stage of my life.
When did you learn this particular skill? Did you have guidance from someone close to you, or did you figure it out on your own?
Group therapy. It’s very intimidating to start, since you’re joining a group of people that already know the ropes. It took a while for me to join in and share, but it didn’t matter. I personally learned far more from observation than sharing my personal experiences. I’m in my 40s, if that helps.
Ah, dammit. I'll see if I can find something around me. It's hard to convince myself to go because of the group aspect; much easier to stay home where I won't upset anyone accidentally. But it does sound like it would be helpful; I'm younger than you but not by much. Thank you again!
No problem! I joined an online group I found through my insurance portal. You may be able to do the same through your insurance provider’s website.
Sounds like they learned it in therapy and/or wsupport groups.
You right, you right. It's early and I fail at reading comprehension 😂
It's all good.
