Thank you SO much Joey for finding comfort in my failure! Thankfully, YOUR opinion of me means nothing, since youre nothing but someone behind a screen somewhere. I expected to be completely misunderstood in my intentions, concerns, and reasons for being here by someone, however not someone with...

I do understand that. But if you read the file I shared, the questions are all based on the dsm-v guidelines for ptsd. The quiz is simply supposed to be used as a TOOL to be an icebreaker for people who possibly suffer from ptsd to show to their Dr or health care professional so that that...

He doesn't communicate, claims he doesn't have emotions. He doesn't understand the concept of unconditional love, he was taught and raised it had to be earned. I don't want to earn someones love, I don't want to be the loneliest I have ever been in my life, yet married to someone I love more...

It's causing much more harm than not. More pain than anything else, and while he's in therapy now and making some changes, I'm just tired, fed up, wore out, done.

I honestly don't think there is enough of a relationship left to worry with.

You completely sumed it up. "Walking on eggshells" that us our life. Everything I do is wrong, everything I do is my fault, everything he says to me and does is stored in my mind and I can't erase it, no matter how much I try. His flight response is so high and so often, I'm now numb to it. I...

He hasn't shown any frustration really about the lack of diagnosis, but he is active as someone with ptsd in his fb groups. He doesn't show emotions. Doesn't feel he has emotions. But due to his still being so active in these groups, I know that he still believes he has ptsd. I want the...

WE are in the USA as well and we chose this clinic itself based on feedback from my children's therapists, on their reviews and other people's personal experience with them as a clinic. I see a therapist at the same clinic for my issues. The clinic chose his therapist. You can change therapist...

I understand where you're coming from completely. I understand what you are saying. But I do know what he's taking to therapy. He comes home and tells me, I'm telling her everything. I'm telling her about my childhood, about triggers at home now and how it's affecting me, about the nightmares...

My husband truly believes he has ptsd, but did ask me to just let her do her job.

The thing is, I'm not the patient. I don't go to his appointments, he doesn't want me to because there are things in his childhood he is starting to remember that he doesn't want anyone knowing. He doesn't like talking about them. To anyone, even me or a therapist. He is going because we came...

Here is the file

Yes he does have an appt set up for July 8th. He meet EVERY guideline listed on this site, in the book, and on the website that had the quiz that basically asked if you displayed the symptoms of PTSD. Should I just step back and "let her do her job"? I'll post a photo of the quiz and a link to...

He has only seen her 2 times. Intake and 1 regular session. I'm just frustrated. I have the same training as his therapist, minus 2 credits to complete my degree and I don't have 40 yrs experience. But I did read the dvm guidelines for diagnosis.

What do you mean? Observable by the therapist? Because it's been observed by me enough that my therapist (at the same clinic) has me deciding if I want to even continue with the marriage because it is causing so many problems.
