Currently my normal talk therapy which included working on various components within DBT (such as Radical Acceptance) has been tossed aside for an interview style proceeding any discussion known as PTSD Symptom Scale Interview (PSS-I and PSS-I-5). ? Is anyone else being blessed (coughs) with this of late?It has several questions for quantitative measuring which takes (per authorities of the test) 20 minutes if one can focus lol. However, since my disassociation is rather high at this time, most of the 40 minutes of my Therapy Session are absorbed within my grappling for recall then refocusIng in order to address. The scale on the questions as well as the questions theirselves (which in my current mood swing) appear to be a form of agitation rather than self assessment.After three sessions being hogged by this bloody construct, it became apparent to my T. that my scale was increasing. Dah. He offered to send me the test prior to the talk, so we might communicate the numbers then proceed. We shall see. So I was wondering if you currently were undergoing this style of modality that is claimed by some to be helpful to the client. For me, knowing my PTSD is increasing during a Pandemic, ect isn’t necessarily a toolkit. However, you might have a different opinion and I am willing to learn as sometimes I can be a donkey’s butt before I accept...change. Thanks.</blockquote>
