Hi! Yes, I was thinking of it in combo with talk therapy

I was wondering if anyone has tried this and to what success? Thank you!

Has anyone else been using MMJ? I had always been under the impression that indica strains were more effective for PTSD. In fact, my certifying physician recommended that I stay away from sativas. By accident I purchased some sativa and well, not one to waste, I tried it. It was really...

I've been to SP within the last year. I am also a lesbian and had no problems because of that at SP. You can have markers as long as they are not super thin with really pointy tips. A lot of people have gel pens. You will definitely have space and time for adult coloring. There is a lot of...

I tried EMDR and was not a big fan. I did not find it to be very effective. At the time, my T was really into it and made it sound like it was going to be the panacea for my problems. With all the buildup, I was convinced that after a couple of sessions, I would be fine. Not so. It wasn't...

Hi. After two years of simply stabilizing with my T, we are starting to do some of the more heavy trauma work. My T's style is very much somatic therapy--we use movement all the time. At first, it was a little strange just because I wasn't used to moving around so much in therapy. But now, it...

Hi there. I hope this is not too late. I was at SP in October. It was a good program for me. The staff is very compassionate and the doctors FINALLY fixed my medication so that I am neither a zombie or a charged ball of anxiety. SOme answers: 1. You can get staff or your social worker to...

I am not even sure if "relapse" is the right word when referring to PTSD, but I'll go with that. In October I spend two weeks at Sheppard Pratt to help get my PTSD symptoms under control. I was in bad shape and not able to function in my daily life because of the continuous panic attacks and...

I totally agree with this. My T is about as chill as I've ever met. It's more than just the therapist you-can-say-anything-and-i-wont-flinch manner, also. It works for me because I'd like to plow through therapy as quickly as possible and achieve sanity, tomorrow. Just tell me what to do, I'll...

Good days and bad days but at least the bad days aren't AS bad! Leaving right before the election was a bit jarring.

I think we were. I really hope you are doing well.

This is pretty much what my therapy is. My T is a dance movement therapist and a bunch of other letters. We do some talk, some yoga--probably about 70/30 split. I was skeptical but it has helped me more than regular talk therapy did. A lot more. It's actually been quite a bit of hard work...

I did online therapy for a couple of months--it was after my therapist had moved across country and she agreed to see my while I found someone else. As a placeholder it was fine. It was pretty much just checking in--nothing too deep. It was okay for that limited purpose but overall I would...

Congratulations! Wishing you the best.

@recoveringfromptsd, i hear you on the adjustment. Not sure if this helps you or not but so far breaking my day up into Morning, afternoon, evening and night helps. With the exception of nighttime (when I am thankfully sleeping), i have about 3-4 things I know I can do (or will just happen...
