I think you should be clear on the understanding of PTSD and do some reading on this if you are serious about entering Into this relationship . It's not easy for both party's . I think it's early days for him to trust you with everything and he's obviously trying very hard. It takes a lot of...

@floating , Sorry to hear about your abuse I think everyone has probably covered everything so I don't really have much left to say, except I hope you get through it I'm sure you will intime but it will be Rocky at times with lots of emotions surfacing .

Hi nighthawk I understand wat u mean and it can be very daunting. I refused to attend a few if my sessions as I couldn't cope with the so called aftermath. I hated it.

Don't feel guilty please . You hve niting to feel guilty about. Your boss is just typically doing what an abuse does, mash your head up then be nice and turn it all around as if you were in the wrong, 9 out if 10 ten times waiting for you to apologise coz they've now made u feel guilty. I don't...

I have mixed feelings abt emdr, it started working r well for me but then not all the time. The brain spotting worked better to and I enjoyed that, i do faster eft nd find that really effective. If the emdr is not working for you all the time ask your t abt brain spotting? They go well together...

I'm sorry where it says u is meant to b I and gingeris meant to be longer, last time I was on meds was abt 15 years ago as I really didn't like the way they made me feel and in some way I felt like the psychiatrist was controlling my choice by giving them to me and I hated that. I used...

Welcome to the forum, that was a very cruel thing to do especially as it was your mum. I hate it when they say calm down like we are purposely behaving in this manner. It enrages me if I'm totally honest . I've had a really crap weekend flashbacks from Thursday night all day Friday and left with...
