Finally Some Good News On My Healing Path

[recoveringfromptsd]

It seems everybody has rallied to my needs,

I am going to be starting DBT in December
Life Crisis Center is going to begin exposure therapy at the end of this month (and its free!).
The P Doc has my meds where they should be to control my mania
And my therapist is going to be guiding me, and helping me with that that DBT or Life Crisis does not cover.

That's awesome, that's what I call wrap-around support! Good for you.

Passing around some virtual pompoms for us all to shake in the air! Awesome news. Rooting for you that you get a lot out of it. Your pdoc sounds like a good egg:)

It's good to have multiple support outlets when doing this kind of hard, soul work. I am in PE myself, and it's tough. Hard, but like being cleansed by fire. I think you've got a lot of professional support around you ... What about personal support? In addition to the fine folks of the forum, do you have other people in your life who know what you are going through and are supportive?

@Lola Nocheprieta Since your in PE, can you give me any pointers, what can I expect, what to expect to feel after a session, etc.

Awesome!

DBT skills can be very helpful. I know they've helped me a lot! :hug:

...what can I expect, what to expect to feel after a session, etc.

I can only tell you what it's been like for me. You have to have a willingness inside you to approach the things that scare you, that cause you pain and panic. Has anyone explained the process to you, re the in vivo exposure, exposure hierarchy, imaginal exposure, SUDS, "hot spots," emotional processing theory, etc?

Fantastic! Wishing you safety and calm, it's going to a lot of work. But you can do it!
