Having A Really Bad Time

[melissagrace]

Hi, Kev.

I'm new here, so feel free to take this with a grain of salt (or maybe more :) ), but just want to chime inand say I'm sorry for how you're feeling and that I would be surprised if your therapist wasn't quite supportive of your misunderstanding of her intentions...

It's my understanding that we PTSD'ers tend to feel abandoned often, so her suggestion to see someone else instead of/ in conjunction with her might have caused the same feeling or response in any of us...

Hope she responds with caring and kindness, and that you feel supported here and elsewhere...

best,
melissagrace

Kevin, I'm not sure hypnosis would help you. Has your therapist tried to help you get into a trance state? Your body just feels extremely heavy and relaxed like you are ready to fall into a deep, peaceful, natural sleep, but your mind is highly focused.

I really don't understand how she thinks it might help you, unless....if you can immediately fall into that state when you feel like cutting, you might be able to stop it.

Does you therapist know a good person to send you to? Not all hypnotherapist are created equally, and in Ohio, at lease, they aren't well regulated so it is tough to find a good one.
