All in all, although you may not see it- this therapy doesn't seem benificial to you, her client. Yes it is a relationship- but it should be of benifit to you. I'm a bit confused over what you want out of this. I'm trying to empathise, so I say I feel angry for you at your therapist, but you...

My therapist was asking me to think of a safe place- gave me a few examples, I just couldn't think of anything. SO really I just picked a desert Island because it was something he suggested. I have no experience of desert islands. So it's hard to imagine. But as I said- it gets inflitrated by...

That's a really interesting perspective- it's true I always do try to see the other side. I don't have PTSD for anything violence related, but when I was a child my Dad was violent towards me, my siblings and my mum. I guess I just wasn't effected by it really, but I occasionally shouted at my...

I kind of agree with the post above... There is never an excuse for violence, but was he trying to stop himself from being violent, by leaving your company, and you followed him? It's still not an excuse- but it maybe helps to understand how the situation escalated.

I don't know if this is exposure therapy or not, but just wanted to write about it. I haven't been able to speak about the thing that happened to me, because I start crying. I know in my head that its not even a big deal-but i cant talk about it. Its wierd. Even when it happened I thought it was...

This really annoys me! I feel very angry in fact. Her problems shouldnt be your concern- and it just shows how great you are that you have put up with this out of kindness. It sounds really unprofessional. Even if a therapist was going through problems., yes it happens, we're all only human, but...

I have been throught the same. Unexplained eating problems and nausea. I have had lots of checks from the GP too. All say I am fine. That rules out the physical and you have to consider the mental effects that stress and PTSD has on your body. They are very closely connected. Also the fact you...

Thanks. It actually kind of makes it acceptable, so now I feel more prepared to move on- as it has been acknowledged... Not that I wanted the attention? I feel like that's how it sounds, but now that it has been aired, I feel more prepared to defeat it. Right. Going to attempt sleep. Thanks again.

Hi all, Just thought I would update you because I feel quite relieved after today. Went to therapy. It was much better than I thought it would be. Was honest for once- don't feel like I have been honest the whole last 6 sessions. Not intentionally, but just felt I was hitting a brick wall...

I've had vertigo/ dizziness and sickness ever since this nightmare of mine happened. It seems to be getting worse. Dr has investigated loads of serious problems, but I'm fine apparently, so all I can blame it on is PTSD. I think it's a kind of panic attack because I feel like i'm dying when it...

Errr yes I completely understand... understatment in fact. I have only seen therapist 6 times and yet I feel really attached. Look forward to the next one- in a wierd sense, I obsess about it for the whole week, but don't think I'm excited if you get me? Sessions are pretty traumatic- so I don't...

I dont think anyone wants to be schizophrenic. Kind of makes a mockery of my post- I know it sounds silly to others- but hey, I worry about things which I guess contributes to why I've found myself in this situation. And lots of smart people are schizophrenic- I don't think it comes into the...

Obviously I know that, I wouldn't suggest it on a whim.

Ok. The only reason I thought schizophrenia is because of the smell thing. Then I started thinking of the other things. I will speak to someone- its just easier to speak to you guys first. Helps me stay in control of this scaryness.

Right. ok. Thanks so much. I think you know from my other posts Jane that my mind is all over the place. I might just print out or copy my posts for the therapist.

Are these dissociative elements? Have read a bit because actually therapist mentioned it and I didnt know what it was.

hello, please read to the end, I know it's a long ramble and I'm sorry about that. Feeling a bit confused today. I'm just wondering if anyone is schizophrenic, or has recognised the signs in themselves and since had a diagnosis from this. Is it possible to have a mild form of schizophrenia...

Thank you so much everyone. I feel much better knowing you guys think it's ok to bring his up with him. Having read on here it seems to be a common fear- that your therapist will stop seeing you. I just find the therapy relationship hard to deal with. I didn't think it would help or have much...

Thanks. I'm in the UK too. I do feel a bit better about broaching the subject now... I thought the same- what is the point if you can't bring up such thoughts? I don't feel like I would actually do anything. I just feel like I need to be knocked out- I feel envious of those in a coma. If there...

Hi, Very new to therapy. My therapist cancelled on me very short notice last week- he said he had possibly broken his wrist- so it is a genuine reason. However, I did not expect to be so gutted when I realised I wouldn't see him. It started me thinking how bad I would feel if I stopped seeing...

Hi. I've been on this forum before but had to remove myself because I felt I had revealed too much. I just couldn't handle it. So sorry that this is my first post and i haven't given you a story or anything. I'm here under a different name. Anyway- I had to comment and share my revelation. I've...
