My therapist has suggested trying Life Span Integration therapy. Has anyone tried it? How did it go?

Was out in the country. I mean real country. My friend's 100 acres. Can't even see neighbors' homes. No street signs cuz everyone who lives there knows! No a sound, No cars driving by. No dogs barking. No birds chirping. They left me alone to show others around. Suddenly the silence became...

I over prepare for everything. Always have. Consider the key to being successful in my career, life. Some call it perfectionism whatever. When I retired decided to train my dog, then compete, then get a second, compete in several sports at top levels then became a judge. Know this sounds trite...

Twice this week had an emotional panic attack. No flashback pictures. Just all the feelings. Hate this.

Calling it rage as it was intense. Never happened before so can't explain it. Suddenly and I mean suddenly, felt this intense anger, began hitting the door jam, and watching myself silently screaming. Shaking inside. Don't know what I was so scared about or upset about. Frightened it will happen...

We have been with our T for years. He has been an amazing help. Just want to say that up front. We're meeting thru video now. Don't know if that's relevant. But lately we've been feeling overwhelmed. Recovering from ER surgery. Just needs time. But while staying home we let little ones and...

Back on anxiety meds but not sure how well they are working. Went a year with increasing leg pain..from pain to totally unable to walk.. without doc being able to find the cause or adequate pain management. When doc finally found cause, he got me in for ER surgery. Weren't doing surgeries cuz of...

My ortho surgeon's PA told me the Doc had written a referral to, I was to discover, a psychiatrist. Thought it was just another Doc checking something after my ER hip replacement surgery. When I called, I was told it was for psPTSD. If like me you never heard of it,it's post surgery PTSD. I...

After about a year of increasing pain, had surgery that eliminated it. All fine for 5+ weeks. Now surgeon has referred us for psPTSD. (PostSurgeryPTSD). Know how to deal with PTSD. No prob! Nope. It seems a younger group is suffering from it now. More fear, night terrors, eating problems, etc...

Just need to share to hopefully stop beating myself up. Saw neighbor struggling to get groceries into house. Had my cart handy so helped. Said she and her granddaughter, daughter were making cookies for school & had run out of key ingredient. So she ran to store. While she was there, also...

Trying to help ones realize abuse was a time ago, & across the country. Not here & now..no action required. Used a map. Logical right? Now can point out States & their names & find them on the map. Progress! Thinks the abusers are everywhere. Was probably told that. It's the time warp hurdle we...

Recently had a flashback with a lot of detail. Followed by the going to blow up the world kind of anger. Then suddenly quiet. Can't really understand what's going on. Just quiet with a bit of dread. Is depression coming? Is this working thru that flashback event? What's about to happen? Let it...

Saw this mentioned in another thread, as it was my experience too, thought I'd start a thread. Found out my dx was in my record years before anyone decided to tell *me*. Then when I was told, it was off-handedly. Never explained the real..nonTV/movie..life living with dx. When it dawned on me...

Don't know where else to post this question? Have a concussion as a result of MVA. Besides the horrendous sounds bringing up PTSD symptoms, the others are acting uncharacteristically. Anyone been thru this?

Recently had MVA. Vividly remember the loud noise. Physically recovering. Car still hospitalized!! But how do you differentiate between effects from accident & triggering ptsd? Trying to get back onto the horse.

Had to have cyst on top of our head checked out. Doc's office was like an assembly line. Walk in, stand in short line, sign papers, go with PA, sit in chair, doc enters, checks, says no concern our discretion, leaves. PA literally has next patient coming down the hall as we open the door to...
