Sad but true! Some professionals have only learnt so much in their career and because they can't see or touch the illness, they tend to assume they are correct in their diagnosis. It could be the patient doesn't give enough information, the professional misunderstands what they are told or what...

When we are full of our own troubles and we have negative thoughts within ourselves, we tend to pass those thoughts on to others, non deliberately. For example, when we are helping someone and our own negativities get in the way... Then we are becoming a burden on them, rather than a help...

I felt like a total fool in court, when I testified against someone. I hated it, but I'm glad I did it

It is still only fixing the problem, not the course

The trouble is that Echo challenged me with something you said and I had to go look for what Echo was referring to and found you said what Echo said you said... So, therefore Echo is correct and yep you can clean your own mess my friend :D

The C component in PTSD is a symbol as which PTSD is... They are only words to describe something. The meaning of complex is to have more than one trauma, whether or not in the same picture, sound or touch. PTSD also affects people with ADHD, Bipola, Schizophrenia and other mental illnesses as...

Unfortunately for me @Echo he did say he want's a relationship... I went looking :( Chris your own your own pal :)

Ten hours a week of EMDR No way known! I am sorry, either you are really over exaggerating or your therapist is an idiot!!! With EMDR, you have to look at your visual image until it breaks away, tastes better, shrinks or what ever it does and that is usually over months or years, because to do...

It sux when we sabotage ourselves, it realy does. We can see it, we can feel it, but we can't stop it! I need to be more selfish, because if I don't think about myself enough, how the hell do I think about others? Mayday, you are a helper a giver and if you can learn to set yourself some...

I think @Radise that you're spot on, your insight is pretty damn good! I guess your uncle froze in the car because he didn't know what to do with you while you were being so irrational (freaking out) and it may of frightened him... I'm only guessing, but that's how I see it.

If we let the people we care about do their thing and have no expectations in return... We can always feel good about ourselves

Is it possible that the gossip line has affected him and he doesn't know how to react around you any more than you with him?
