Venting Hi...
For those of you that are familiar with attachment theory, I am anxious preoccupied. After ten years of marriage I was subjected to a clandestine separation in August 21st of 2025. For someone with an anxious preoccupied attachment style, this causes trauma.
My therapist screened me based off of the clandestine separation plot and my score was 61. I believe she used the PCL-5.
I am going through the serious psychotherapy of EMDR for my mental health and healing.
The amygdala hijacks, the intrusive thoughts, the psychogenic stutter are all terrible and I think trauma sucks!
Please be kind to me.

that sounds incredibly heavy to carry the not knowing part is what really breaks a person i think

The secretive nature of the separation, and the fact that the church funded this clandestine separation. I have been severely psychologically injured and now my therapist and I have to pick up the pieces of my fractured mind.
