    Was Told By A Psychoanalytic That You Don´t Need "trauma Therapist" For Trauma

    I was told today by a psychoanalytic that every therapist can treat trauma and there weren´t many trauma therapists. I find this confusing because it´s the opposite of what I´ve read and heard many times. He said that only when you´ve got single trauma and flashbacks it COULD be helpful to...

    My T Says It Has To Do With My Mother

    My T said my not feeling autonomous and being scared of obligations (in terms of appointments), because I feel like I belong to the person I have an appointment with, has to do with an issue I´ve had with my mother before I was 3 years old.

    Confused With Therapy, Therapist, Diagnosis

    Your Opinion On This Therapist!

    I´m really not sure on my therapist. After reading the above threads on trauma therapy, I´m less sure. I basically choose this therapist because I felt comfortable enough with her, meaning she wasn´t pushy or unfriendly and I was tired of looking. I have tested 13 therapists before. I have...

    Do You Analyse Your Whole Life In Trauma Therapy?

    I´m momentarily with an analytical therapist that is not exactly specialised on trauma. The problem I have to face is that, unlike the trauma specialist I´ve seen ( just 2 hours), she wants to talk about all of my life´s problems I have had before my father died and is more into a complete...
