Shepherds Pipe carol by John Rutter

Welcome. I hope being here will help you feel part of a community. I've had some fantatstic support from people here I'm afraid I don't know what IOP means. I'm in thed UK and it's not an abbreviation we have here. It sounds as though it might be some sort of admitted care. If so, my...

I'm glad you found us. I see a huge positive when you say You have worked through this before, you will be able to do it again. Not saying that glibly, but you'll find there are lots of people here who are used to tackling the cycle of PTSD. It must be hard now, trying to parent yourself and...

I recognise that.

Can you link me to anything authoritative on this? I think I need to look at whether I'm being rationally cautious or over defensive. I see serial killers as cunning, manipulative and impossible to outwit. The flip side of therapists, who know better than us what is going on in our heads and...

Well, I didn't tell her in any detail , though right at the end of the session I said that I needed her not to talk about hypnosis because I need to be in control of myself. She went into some detail about what she wants to use it for - to implant a more positive self image - but then realised...

I've observed before that posting anything about being less than perfect for our pets is a sure way to get harsh responses, It seems to be the basic black and white issue. Taking that, combined with your comment that you were made so uncomfortable by others replying to your diary, makes me...

I think it's more that the shame is located in specific places. I worked for the NHS when my PTSD came on, and parts of my trauma have medical links. I carry a huge sense of failure that is linked to medical environments, so perhaps it was good to be in a very informal, non-medicalised environment.

I found that when I was grieving a parent, a layer of protection was gone and I could get get closer to the truth of my other feelings, So this might be good time to start to expose some of the feelings around trauma. From what you've written in the past, your T sounds good enough to help you...

I don't think I've ever had dream directly about a T. I tend to encode them a bit more, and dream a metaphor of detectives, but knowing that I can read my dream meanings. It's strange that so many dreams are about meeting in public places or people walking in on sessions. I used to experience...

I'm surprised how many of you can identify with my fears. I expected to be told they were absurd - which they almost certainly are. But thank you for making me feel a bit less freakish. I wish I had a more realistic, and more consistent, assessment of danger. But since I can't see anything...

This started a few weeks ago, when I arrived at her house to find a locked gate. She had forgotten to open it, but came rushing out calling to me as I tried the gate. Until then I hadn't really realised there was a six foot fence and gate, let alone one that locked. Then, the next week, she...
