I don't know how it forms, really. I feel like my therapist is my father. I want to impress him, make him proud, tell me I'm doing well. He hugged me once! I feel kind of pathetic. I need his approval.
No no no, my therapist is the best. I couldn't live without him. He's like the father I never had. And he does specialize in PTSD. He is not telling me to get over it. He tells me I will NEVER be cured, but I can learn to maintain and deal better. He wants me to expand my coping skills.
Also, I...
I disagree! They are very similar. And meditation isn't necessarily about being alone. Ever been to a mass meditation? A temple? You're supposed to focus on everything external and be alert. It's about connecting your inside with your outside. A sort of reconciliation. That's what a lot of...
Thanks. I am wondering why my therapist hasn't mentioned this. He's the best therapist I have ever had and has been practicing with a PhD for over 30 years. He's constantly saying, "Get out more! Do it; just do it! Come on!!" And then he gives me Zen confidence boosters and we talk abut my...

I've been...

I think staff was extremely rude for banning @Anarchy from the thread. :(
We all have PTSD here and we all have our reasons for it. As I said, I've watched police as they wrestled my brother from a protest, twisting his limbs as he cried and begged for the pain to stop while they deliberately...
I've lived in shelters before. It's f*cking stressful. But you have PTSD. It's going to be harder for people with PTSD. I'd advise taking small steps to get yourself into therapy. I used to hate opening up and talking about stuff. Still do, sometimes. It's like cutting your heart out in front of...
lmao
I'm an anarcho-communist, if that gives you any sense of the answer.
I have no love for cops. I've watched them as they wrestled my brother from a protest, twisting his limbs as he cried and begged for the pain to stop while they deliberately sat on him, obviously relishing in his pain...
