    intensive neurofeedback

    Thanks Eve. You are right that the therapist is not a good fit. He has really been causing me a lot of stress and even loss of sleep, but I really want to give neurofeedback a try and he is my only option at the moment. I live in a small town in New Zealand. Even hiring high-level equipment...

    intensive neurofeedback

    After writing that, I thought maybe it sounds as if I was imposing on his time by sending emails, but he had actually told me to email with feedback after every session, and I really did try to keep my emails short and concise.

    intensive neurofeedback

    Thanks for your advice. I am waiting to hear back from two people at Myndlift, and I will see what we can do. Hopefully my local practitioner will help out with supplying any data they require. I remember the gist of my results but I don't actually have the scans myself. I have been lucky enough...

    intensive neurofeedback

    I am considering that as an option, but it can be expensive too, and I would still need to travel for an initial assessment if it is a high-level treatment. A few years ago I purchased lifetime subscription (which I don't think is still available) for Myndlift, which is a basic home system using...

    intensive neurofeedback

    I wondered if anyone has tried an intensive neurofeedback program, where the sessions are packed into a few weeks. I am currently having neurofeedback locally, but I am finding the practitioner very difficult to deal with and he has become very hostile towards me. I'm not sure how much longer I...

    We are not simply broken, victims, but on a path

    If people genuinely enjoy 'noise', I think that's fine. The important thing is to be able to be honest about what you enjoy and what you don't, and pursue the life you genuinely want. I think a lot of people feel pressured into living the way other people expect them to and don't even question...

    Opinion on the viewpoint 'there are two sides to every story' - Is my reaction is part of my PTSD?

    Thanks. That is kind of you. I also realise that I should be a bit more empathetic towards my SIL. I sometimes find her logic frustrating, but she's not a nasty person. I am able to see my own thinking patterns more clearly when someone gently points them out to me, and that is probably what I...

    Opinion on the viewpoint 'there are two sides to every story' - Is my reaction is part of my PTSD?

    In terms of my past, I can think of a few different things, both within my family and outside of it, which may have some bearing on why this feels personal to me, but no one thing that is the obvious explanation. I have not been in the exact same situation. I am now estranged from my own family...

    Opinion on the viewpoint 'there are two sides to every story' - Is my reaction is part of my PTSD?

    I did not intentionally mean to side with one party, but after reading responses to my post I did realise that I had unconsciously done so. I did not rule out the possibility that the father was telling the truth, but the possibility that concerned and upset me more was that the daughter might...

    Opinion on the viewpoint 'there are two sides to every story' - Is my reaction is part of my PTSD?

    Thanks Friday. They are interesting articles. There is a lot to think about, and I will need to look at them again. In the scenario where 'Jane' needed to fix part of her report, what I would be feeling in that situation is fear of looking at the report because of how it would upset me to see my...

    Thanks, I will have a look at the articles tomorrow.

    Opinion on the viewpoint 'there are two sides to every story' - Is my reaction is part of my PTSD?

    Thanks for your considered reply. Everything you have said is true. I probably am disposed to believe accusers to some extent, although I am aware in some circumstances that a gaslighting person could make a pre-emptive strike by accusing someone before that person has the chance to accuse them...

    Opinion on the viewpoint 'there are two sides to every story' - Is my reaction is part of my PTSD?

    People are complicated, and I am writing about this because I am trying to clarify my own thoughts and feelings. My experience is that there are people who deliberately manipulate and lie, and so when we have two opposing accounts of events, there may be genuinely different memories or...

    Opinion on the viewpoint 'there are two sides to every story' - Is my reaction is part of my PTSD?

    I do understand that there is a difference between facts and perception. But the statement that the truth is probably somewhere in the middle seems to imply that all people are equally honest/deluded, and if someone is contradicting you then you can't really be telling the truth. I don't think...

    Opinion on the viewpoint 'there are two sides to every story' - Is my reaction is part of my PTSD?

    I'm just interested in knowing how other people here react to this and whether they think my reaction is part of my PTSD. A distant in-law relative of mine, estranged from the family, and whom I have never met, claims she was sexually abused by her father, who denies it. My sister-in-law...

    anxiety dreams

    Thanks for explaining. Perhaps looking for a bra that fits in your dreams means that, while your focus seems to be on survival, what you need most is something more intimate - something close to your heart and soft. Perhaps it means that your soul needs gentle healing. The shoes don't fit the...

    anxiety dreams

    I have also had a lot of dreams over the years about exams I am totally unprepared for and overdue library books. I'm sure these are fairly common dreams, but I think having them often is still a sign of generalised anxiety. And I wake up still feeling like I have to sort out the problem, until...

    anxiety dreams

    In the last year or so I have had recurring dreams about being away from home, usually on a group trip of some kind. The day we are meant to leave, everyone else has been packing their things, and I have left it to the last minute and am in danger of being left behind because I can't pack in...

    Searching for a hobby has made things worse

    I agree. I used to feel like I wasn't a real person too. And I thought animals would see that I wasn't and not respond to me. But that wasn't true. I volunteered at a shelter and the dogs liked me. I am not saying that the poster is necessarilyready to volunteer, but be reassured that feeling...

    things I wrote as a child

    Thanks. That's interesting. Would something like that be enough to alert teachers these days to the possibility that something was wrong?

    things I wrote as a child

    This is my first post on here, and I'm starting with something easy (not too confronting), but I'm curious to know whether these are things others relate to. I had difficult childhood, although I am sure it wasn't the worst. At times I was terrified of my parents, but when I was about nine and a...
