I'm starting trauma therapy Tuesday ( I had a therapist before but he wasn't specialized). Any tips? What should I say? Do I request EMDR, or do they? I'm nervous. TIA

me too. Because every time I do, they realize I am not perfect so they leave. Or I am just a plaything to them. I've never truly been valued by anybody really.

Been there, heard that. My sis told my mom ( her step-mom) when she was about 11 that she was going to be a country singer and Mom could be her maid!!! Her maid!!! Like it was an honor or something. She is always coming up with crap like that.

Wait a minute, we must be related too. My sister behaves the same way. She thinks the world revolves around her and that we should feel honored to be in her presence or 'invited' into her life.

I haven't done much therapy. Only off and on for 2 years. And not for a while. I go on here often though.

Not sure if this goes here or not but I've been noticing a strange occurrence. There is a whole part of my life that is missing. The good stuff, bad stuff. All of it. Except for a few things I've retrieved through therapy. I can't really remember my childhood pre-trauma. Every time I try (...

Welcome. As others have said too. You are normal. I've dealt with all the confusion much as you have. I'm only just starting to remember certain things from my childhood. You have support here. An open ear or a strong shoulder, whatever you need.

Welcome. This place is a lifesaver. You've already met some awesome people. You aren't alone.

I feel that often. The night is difficult for me. But I'm learning.

You're not. I can relate to such reactions. Though my abuse wasn't like that, I do have similar explosive reactions.

Thank you for the reality check. I needed that as I've been slipping lately.

I still get crap for not leaving my ex sooner. Some people just don't get it, unless they live it themselves.

My PTSD feels like I'm chained to a treadmill, running even though I'm exhausted, listening to my flaws being pointed out over and over.

Hey, that's all anyone can ask of you. The folks here are great.

Don't give up. Stay here at least. People will listen, people care.

I've got the trifecta. I sleep with my dog ( Rat terrier), a hunting knife and my cell. My dog will not let anyone in my room at night

Put me down too. Lines in walmart: bad, horrible. I hate having strange people surround me. I hate being boxed in like that. Small spaces I'm fine just crowds so it's not claustrophobia. When I get triggered I can't sleep.

Welcome and Hello

Hang in there, it'll come. It may seem a little scary and overwhelming but we're here for you. Not in a hokey way;) but really truly.

I try to. It's a bear.

Me too. That is a great stress reliever. Thanks for the reminder!!!:)

Yup, that is he. He's my boydog.

As the song says, all you need is love. Most of us, it seems, were deprived of it at one time or another.

Guess, what folks, I rock too. The first time I did it I scared my roommate. I heard a song that triggered me and I dissociated. I do it often.
