I look forward to it until she pushes exposure therapy on me. Then I hate it. I usually flat out refuse for many sessions, then she gets assertive and I try it once and then spend another few sessions refusing

oh well that is just wonderful...lol thank you for your feedback everyone. I'm interested to hear everyone's perspective, but empathize with you all for going through it

don't you find that you can attach almost anything in a dream to your trauma though? I mean I had THE ODDEST dream the other night that I won't bother to explain and I could likely pull out a few emotions, but near the end there was something dead pulled out of the water, and it had the exact...

Thanks. I'll have to keep you all posted once I finally get some answers. You know when even though they make you feel like your crazy, you keep advocating for yourself because internally you know it's right...? That's how I feel now against physio and worker's comp. I never trusted what their...

It always makes a difference. We know our bodies best. I called another physio office and am only going to tell them the physical issues. Because my diagnosis slowly came all at once after the crash, I told physio about my PTSD. Now that’s all he blames my symptoms or his inability to resolve my...

Yep. I'm in the same boat as you. Sometimes I will try but it just leaves me in tears and ruins my whole day. It sometimes takes me a couple days to get back to a place were I feel somewhat balanced again. My resistance has made my therapist question her practices with me, and even...

Yeah, that’s where I believed I didn’t have these “terrifying dreams” where some people report waking up screaming or sweating. For me it’s very “wow, I’m, that was f*cked up, but okay”, or “that’s typical considering my messed up brain” - negative thoughts after living with my abusive mother...

When I was assessed I was told that not only do I have PTSD, but I suffer severe symptoms. In saying that, I can't help but wonder if any of my sleep issues/bad dreams come anywhere close to someone who struggles a lot with this particular symptom. I find it weird that I don't overtly identify...

I am getting paranoid that without receiving proper treatment for my injuries, my body will suffer more long-term injuries versus treating something sooner. I don't want to be damaged goods simply because some 'professional' was a bonehead. I knew worker's comp would be hell to deal with, but...

Some things I believe we don't even realize we are avoiding. My interpretation of not wanting to return to the job that caused me injury is my therapist's interpretation of avoidance.

You read it while still in a low point. You likely had a whole lot of negativity still swimming around. It makes complete sense.

I refuse to work with someone who isn't genuinely a good person and/or is willing to show me under all their degrees and professional behaviours they are a real person too. I believe I told her in the first session. If she was like that then she could walk out the door right now. lol..I've heard...

As a kid I'd change the stickers on them and do whatever worked. However, my nephew loves them. He buys all sorts of different kinds and shapes and solves them. Not sure why lol. He's got the brain for it though!

I’ve worked with some BPD clients and I’d lean more towards this, but as someone else just stated we can not diagnose you or help you as we are not psychologists or an assessment facility. It’s a forum for individuals formally DIAGNOSED with PTSD.

Before this gets any worse, I hope you get help. It is unfortunate that you cannot see that because many of us are not buying into your story, you are now headed to paint us with the same brush as those who worked in that institution you despise, aka. “sociopaths”. It’s quite incomprehensible...

I get similar feelings/episodes. I've chalked it up to distraction. Since when we travel or do something that is super unrelated to our trauma we don't have to have it in the forefront of our minds. I remember telling my therapist I couldn't be experiencing PTSD or episodic depression, because...

I'm going to be honest here, I was totally looking at this objectively and was very open to the possibility of a trauma from what I gathered in your posts. I strive to see every facet of another person's situation before settling on my opinion. At this point, I find it incredibly strange how you...

That's just it though. Majority of the time it has been me getting upset because I have been triggered with a flashback and was headed for a panic. Yesterday when I went I just started crying. What was going through my mind at the time was upset that my physio is suggesting worker's comp. should...

It is, and if you review my post that is exactly what I suggested. Given this entire thread and comments made, I have observed a desire of the OP trying to find a way to push the boundaries and make a deeper connection with the therapist than the appropriate “client and therapist” relationship...

my ability to feel.

So writing this out will likely sound strange, but I hope I can explain this well enough so you can understand. The reason I like having PTSD is there everyone is encouraging me to amp up my self-care. They push me to be in the moment and stay there. To take time for myself and ensure I am...

So maybe it's a positive I cry through these yoga sessions?

This whole post is a huge boundary violation. I truly hope your therapist is able to safely set some boundaries with you. She is not there to be your friend. Personally, I really like my therapist and love attending our sessions because she is unapologetically herself. Somedays we banter back...

Okay. I read more into your post. He likely is not addressing the idea of sexual assault and PTSD, because from their assessments they have deemed it to be a part of your psychosis. He is disregarding it because common practice in treating someone struggling with psychosis is to not feed into...

I'd be curious to know the attachment you've had with your other therapist. I've had my old personal trainer who I adored, and when I had to get a new one (in my head) nothing would ever be good enough or the same. i was always perturbed when the new PT asked a question that the other PT was...
