Hi in the end I didn't try on my own for various reasons,one being i'm safer under the guidance of my therapist but that doesn't mean I wouldn't try in the future or recommend trying it on your own.There are small grounding techniques I do which my therapist has shown me and are in Peter...

Hi everyone I have been in therapy for about six months primarily doing somatic experiencing,though it has been a slow process I am starting to see some good results,particularly in the last couple of months,though nothing dramatic but every now and again I have these small little...

Thanks for the response. I never thought I would be so happy about crying, it has been a slow road in my recovery but I need things like this to keep my spirit's up, I really did wonder if I was able to cry again.

Hi Everyone, I've had ptsd for 20 years but only fully realised what it was about 1 year ago. I got in a bad way, depression, drinking too much, etc, then decided I had to do something about it, so I have been seeing a therapist for the last six months. She is great and I have made a lot of...
