i notice a lot when i am trying to talk about certain things that have happened to me, i will often completely forget what i am talking about, what i said last and what im going to say next. it just slips away completely from me and i don't know what this is. it's really frustrating and i was wondering if you knew of any ways to manage this?
that's one of the questions that's asked on the MID assessment more or less so you're not alone in this experience. I experience this as well
personally you could start out with apologizing and being like "sorry for stepping on your toes there" @ your own brain. you could also be like "I trust that whatever part of my brain has this memory or feeling is keeping it from me to try and stay safe, and I respect that. could I look a little bit, or will that still be too much?"
acknowledging and being thankful and appreciative of your brain doing this for you as opposed to seeing it as opposition or something to be defeated will probably help. you could also approach it from the perspective of "hey I would like to look at this but I trust your judgement and needs if you truly feel I shouldn't look at this right now."
