"Why Does My Mind Go Blank In Therapy?" ep.166

This week Licensed Therapist, Kati Morton, LMFT explains why we can forget everything the second we step into our therapy sessions, and what could help us remember what we wanted to say. She also discusses real ways to combat those suicidal thoughts and why depression and suicidality are not always related. Next, Kati talks about the ways we can work to repair our relationships that could have been damaged due to our mental illness, and why a suicide attempt can be a traumatic experience. She also talks about flashbacks and how they can be felt in the body, flashes of memory that we see, smell, or even taste, and we can even have emotional flashbacks. This and so much more this week!! All that and much more in this week’s episode of Ask Kati Anything! Ask Kati Anything ep.166 | Your mental health podcast, with Kati Morton, LMFT Audience questions Why is it that my mind goes blank during therapy sessions? Before and after I have a lot of thoughts wandering through my mind, but once I’m in therapy they are all gone... I don’t see the point of living. I really don’t understand why people want to live and especially why people bring kids into this awful world. I don’t see the point of living and I’ve felt this way since I was a teenager... I struggle a lot with guilt and shame due to what I put my family through due to my mental illness. (ie the worry the had, the suicide attempts etc.) I feel like a horrible person due to... My question is about flashbacks. I really didn’t want to write this but I feel a bit stuck. I think I’ve been having flashbacks but I’m too scared to tell my therapist. It feels sooo dramatic... How do you get out of dissociation, when it is always there? Hey Kati and happy Thursday. I have derealization and depersonalization since 2018 and it NEVER goes away. How can I love and respect my body? I was physically punished as a child, and sexually abused by my husband. I can't find the connection to my body... My daughter (9) struggles with emotion regulation. She fidgets a lot when she's angry, nervous or anxious. She's super sensitive e.g. to certain smells and clothing... I have a question regarding childhood sexual abuse. I am in the process of trying to tell my counselor the details of what happened but for some reason I feel like I'm not telling the truth... I’ve been in therapy for a few months now for an eating disorder, focusing specifically on my compulsive exercise. I know that exposure therapy is the only way to get used to the feeling of not exercising...
