    I think it's really sad but understandable that's he's turned towards drinking and partying , he probably hates it in reality and wakes up feeling like crap but unfortunately it's his escapism rightly or wrong?

    Is A Short Period Of Therapy Worth Bothering With

    I agree with lucycat , get into the system and more therapy will come. I suppose it all also depends on what type of treatment your having, because 6 sessions of intense emdr can be helpful and with techniques to help you , you are better off than no treatment at all. My gp referred me , after a...

    Walking Into Danger

    I'm the opposite, I won't let anyone in because I don't trust anyone so I keep my distance . Too much in the past that destroyed me. I am a little concerened that this person is making you feel this way, I would try and detach yourself before it goes too far and he does you some serious harm. I...

    Yes , yes and yes I have experienced these emotions of anger, and yes they made me feel really uneasy because I really can lose control.

    Dissociating After Emdr?

    Ohhhh that's not very helpful katiekat I think that's a real cop out from your T. Surely she's suppose to give you more insight into EMDR and why she feels it will benefit you? It's not about believing in it it's about understanding it, and learning how it will help. And that's up to your T to...

    How Do You Stay Committed In Therapy?

    I've turned up to therapy and then turned round and gone straight home. It's the fear of processing trauma that I'd rather have left but unfortunately my mind doesn't allow that . Take each session as it comes, try not to think too much beforehand about it. I've spent time in my sessions...

    Dissociating After Emdr?

    I agree with joeylittle . I did lots of research before I chose my T because it was important that they specialised in CPTSD and I needed to feel confident with her. I did check out all her qualifications etc, but that's because I have trust issues, not sure that everyone would do that lol . My...
