The small kid inside (22M) I'm currently in a transitional phase of my life, trying my best to accept things as they are, get to know myself better, and develop the version of me that I want to become. But something that’s been really hard for me lately, and I’m even thinking about doing CPT for it, is that when I’m focused and trying to trust myself, if I suddenly stutter or stumble over my words, I instantly feel like I become a completely different person. It’s like my brain drifts off, my thoughts get all messed up, and I suddenly feel like a small, anxious kid again. I’m not sure if it’s some kind of trauma response or what. It’s not really social anxiety, it’s more like I *shrink* inside, if that makes sense. Has anyone found a way to deal with it?
