Tempered Conversations

During one of my recent sessions with my psychologist, she asked what was triggering the return of my fear, cos I had told her I was mostly fine except for triggers here and there. I told her going on the forum and reading about scary situations triggered it, as it emphasised how serious this whole thing is and made it too real sometimes. So she suggested I stay off the forum for a while, or at least limit my time on it and choose what I read. I knew I couldn’t stay off it for too long, so instead I decided to be careful with what I read. As @ddon said, this site is for all women and men, at all stages of their bc ride. It contains such comprehensive information, that you really do need to take it step by step and be very selective with what you read. Also, we are not psychologists who have been trained in what to say, and when and how. We just share what we know in our way. I doubt any of the women here would ever be intentionally hurtful or inconsiderate. We are adults, and have the right to question, even in our most difficult and terrifying moments, if something doesn’t seem right and to politely clear up misunderstandings with others.
I hope everything is ok with you ♥️
