General Don't Know Which Way Is Up Any Longer..

You go for it wife of.

Hubby saw his CPN today and he told him that it was the best thing we could have done. He went away to see a very awkward patient with a big beaming smile on his face.

Next appointment, 4 weeks time, just to see how hubby is doing. :tup:

Can I just ask how it was funded? Was it completely free under thier charity status or was it approved by the gp as a bought in therapy?

 

[amethist]

It is completely free and charity funded wife of, not connected the the NHS at all.

I first heard about it last November when there was a short news clip on our local news about they had helped a soldier from around here, when no body else could help him.

Basically they do this because they have been there and now can help others.

I can only tell you how they have helped us, and even now, hubby is calm relaxed, been on the phone, been outside fixing his bike, talked to his CPN today, talked on the phone to my daughters partner, and our granddaughter like he does it everyday.

Now kind of bricking it in case they phone me instead of e mailing back...

Gone realy,realy phone phobic in the last few days. I have no Idea why unless its because he's there and I'm here and dreading any call that isn't from him or the kids in case its something bad. Not that it explains why I cant make calls..

 

[wife of]

Glad to hear it is not a bought in service,that means that when push comes to shove his psychologist can not block it if he gets arsey.:p

Sharon will e-mail you wife of, she is lovely, and has been where you are now. Honest she does understand.

You dont have to tell his Psych if you dont want to, just take him and go from there.

Maybe you don't want to take or make calls because... You are just worn out? Don't want to talk to anyone? Want quiet time alone? Don't want to know what is happening with anyone else yet?

I find talking on the phone strangely draining too sometimes. There are times that making a call is the easiest "what do you mean you couldn't make a call????" thing to do. There are others that even making a call to an answering machine feels like climbing mount everest. Sigh. Unloading the dishwasher sometimes feels overwhelming too.

Be good to yourself wife of. Maybe instead of those calls you could just take a nice bath. With bubbles. And candles. :D Just a thought!

Dear Wife Of

I do wish you all the best - we sound very simular too - sadly.

I wanted to say be careful of NLP - you will need to get a top NLP person to work with. I have studied myself and after 3 days I am allowed to say I am a practioner!!!

One NLP guy said he could help - he is £10K PER DAY Seriously - Great if you are a millionare with PTSD I feel!!!!

Thank you for mentioning Talking 2 Minds - I have never heard of them and just looking at the website - Thank you - I will call them in the morning. The more support, ideas and expertise the better.

With love to you Wife Of

Sunshine
