[QUOTE="Steely, post: 486564, member: 3301"] Yes, when he is triggered by something right now he really regresses, and one time disassociated slightly. He did tell the therapist after the first session things were going too fast, and she slowed down, and is working with him on tools to cope with his panic attacks. He has a tool each week that he is supposed to be practicing. Part of this is Matt's personality. He is all or nothing. Apparently the counselor even told him to stop talking for a minute, and take a breath. I agree, susie, that the last thing I want for him to do is to see me as an extension of himself. Actually, he already fights that, as we have struggled with a co-dependent relationship. I will think about talking to his counselor. I just do not want it ever to get back to Matt - because he will perceive it as me interfering and shut down. Thanks for all the advice. I will keep it all in my mind, and suggest it to him at different times when he is overwhelmed. [/QUOTE]
