How can a psychiatrist help me?
MyWillow: Thank you for sharing this partof your journey. I can never really explain what trauma therapy is. Why it is is so hard and frankly brutal. I used to wonder what it is like for other people and some of what you wrote, I have had similar things. My psych doc is not a "talk" person...- Orange Phone

I like the fact that I know nothing about him
I've had two amazing Ts. One 30 years ago in college and my current one. My first probably was my father figure I did not have. I knew a bit about him in that he worked at the college, his wife was the dean, who I knew. I even, 2 years in, babysat his daughter for one night. But he was never...- Orange Phone

Too much pain..
I don't really like any of this. Stupid I know to write this. I truly am just tired of this life. Mentally knowing I am not "broken" but that is how I feel. I feel alone. Who understands wanting to die. And ironically I did not know I had CPTSD until my son was nearly 5 and I was nearly 50...- Orange Phone

Could it be the way your T has presented your situation to them? I really don't know... how much does she know about the program? My T said that I actually needed to be "stable" to go..- Orange Phone

Sheppard Pratt Trauma Center
My therapist wants me to go to Sheppard Pratt in Baltimore and I now may be able to go. I would love to hear about anyone's experiences there. My therapist had been an intern at one point there. I really, really worry about leaving my 6 year old for such a long time. But parenting is a real...- Orange Phone

Do you tell the truth in therapy?
Truth yes. But its a long journey. And its not that he is possibly withholding the truth but coming face to face with it, in the presence of another can be so daunting. We are going against our trauma and societal norms. Especially for men. For everyone, but I think men are even more...- Orange Phone

Sad thing - When you tell your therapist all your abuse and she can’t hug you because of boundaries.
This is a very good point Grit. It is about agency and we all should have the right to decide. Yes there are "professional" boundaries, but there is also the person behind that.- Orange Phone

Sad thing - When you tell your therapist all your abuse and she can’t hug you because of boundaries.
Oh, my therapist has loaned me two books over time. One from early on that I still have. I will return one day. The other is a book that had a personal, intense inscription written in it that I returned right away. Her sharing that with me meant a lot. I don't know the details but her...- Orange Phone

Sad thing - When you tell your therapist all your abuse and she can’t hug you because of boundaries.
Hi, This is so hard. I am at the "opposite" end and right now I never want her to touch me. Mine does art therapy and I cannot even "color with" her. In fact if I think and feel that scenario I start shaking. And my trauma memories are gone mentally and only in my body. Heck I could not even...- Orange Phone
