A query for practitioners or those who know trauma-focused CBT very well: I am intensely triggered by CBT -- I am not entirely sure if it was trauma-focused CBT but it's been multiple times over multiple therapists spanning 1990's-2010 I have sorted out - or inferred - a few things from the...

My mother hasn't been speaking to me because I asked her to acknowledge her part in some past events where she and my father (step dad, not abusive) have tromped all over my triggers and acted extremely inappropriately then refused to take any responsibility for what occurs. I've been writing...

I am a sufferer, and I am worried about my supporter. My husband has anxiety and depression and is my sole carer. It's been a real struggle for him to get into therapy in the first place and it keeps getting disrupted. Every break from it means things get rough here. He's heading back to...

Hey, So I'm finally poking my head out here after my husband went ahead and went here for support. Have been dealing with this a very long time. Diagnosed at 10 years old, now 31. Have PTSD and now CFS and Fibro. Disabled and mostly stuck at home. In therapy, on meds, still trying. Would...
