Take a look at the books here:

I bought the PTSD Relationship one (downloaded it onto my husband's kindle - much cheaper) and it has been an excellent book to read - it would probably be really useful for you.

I'm not sure what to recommend for her specifically, but take a look at the reviews perhaps?

Also, take a look at some of the articles on the home page.

What about the counsellor that you mentioned - can you contact her?

We are going to go all out and try everything we can think of. I would really love to come across a massive list of coping strategies.

Before you bash the states, check out more than ONE local program!

I have been through two excellent programs (one focused on crisis stabilization, the other trauma processing)

Please keep looking. There are excellent programs here in the states.

I have tried more than one local program. It is just becoming very disparaging to myself and my fiancee. She is scared and feels that nobody actually cares about her because we keep finding ill prepared programs that were supposed to be good.

mr_smith_v2, Your first post brought tears to my eyes. I can feel how desperate for help your fiance and you are. I know that it is hard to find the proper help.

I am so sad for what you and your fiance are going through. It is the worst possible pain that a parent can ever indure. She does need help now and so do you.

I'm sorry this post hasn't been of any help for you. I just wanted to say I am listening and trying to think of something that might be of help for the both of you.

I found out after my last post that the program is only intended for acute danger situations and not for long term therapy situations that she needs. She is being released today and hooked up with services that can help her in a longer term situation. Wish I would have known that before bringing her in the other day.

That is very good news to hear. I'm happy for you both.

It's okay, Mr. Smith. At least she is wanting help and you are getting it even if it is a slow process.

I am relieved for you that you are arranging help for her. I am sad that it turned out to be such a hassle. I wish you and your fiancee the very best help possible.
