Hi, well done for getting the courage to speak about what happened here. I’m also a CSA survivor and I wrote to my therapist about this for the first time last week. Like you, I’ve carried the shame surrounding it for a long time and never thought I’d ever be able to tell anyone else. At the...

Thanks, it does make me feel a lot better to know that it’s a pretty normal reaction, it’s been a few weeks since it happened now and I think people expect me to be back to normal and I’d love that to be the case but my brain has other ideas! I’ve got a therapist and she’s been supportive...

Thanks for your support. I called the police the minute they ran off and they came out and took a brief statement but I don’t think it will result in anything, we’ve had 3 break ins on our street and nothing’s happened. I’ll have a look on YouTube, I think I’ll have to leave it until daytime as...

I’ve got ptsd from childhood abuse although for the most part I function pretty well. I can keep my anxiety under wraps unless there’s something majorly stressful going on. A couple of weeks ago I got broken into when I was sleeping, thankfully I scared them off by screaming. Since then I’ve...

Thanks BrokenEMT, I think I'm going to document the workplace stressors and see how they react to them and what can be done and if nothing improves then I'l go down the HR, occupational health route.

Hi all, I'm an engineer and I've been doing the same job for a few years and mostly enjoy it, but this year I've been trained to work with different materials and completing different tasks to what I'm used to and I'm struggling to complete them now and I'm really stressed. Previous managers...

I'm in a similar situation to you in that I'm debating whether it's necessary to look into my trauma in depth so I guess I don't really have any answers for you although I'm swaying towards it being necessary. I mostly wanted to say though that you should put your foot down if you want therapy...

I did the therapy intensively so it was over 5 days so apologies it's all blurred a bit but I'll do my best to remember. We started by ranking my worst memories and beliefs/feelings/symptoms so that we had something to gauge progress by. Penny also talked about her past and about how PICT...

I had ICT with Penny Parks herself and it was definitely the best therapy I've ever had. Like you I was pretty unsure about it and felt uncomfortable with the idea of having to talk to my inner child etc but I found that I actually didn't have to do too much talking at all. I'm not sure how it...
