Wouldn't time out and/or any kind of isolation (e.g. standing in a corner) go against helping get out of their shell from PTSD?

 

[Nighthawk]

Well..... ummmmm....... what if I want to be alone:roflmao:

 

[Sandra]

I think I'm beyond hope. :roflmao:

Isolating by choice is fine, at least in my mind. Hiding in our hotel room works perfectly for some of us. I have spent a number of research conferences visiting the city looking for quiet areas.

In Baltimore the aquarium was right next to the hotel. I spent an entire day there after I presented. The irony was that it happened to be Deaf Day at the aquarium. So I had full access to the dolphins, fish, sharks... The following day I took a train ride to Washington, DC, to visit a former student of mine who decided to attend graduate school at Gallaudet.

In Oakland I went to Fisherman's wharf and sat watching the sea lions hanging around in a smaller area. In the morning and during the day it was terrific and quiet.

But I like it here in the corner. When I talk to myself I always get the right answers. :whistling:

Taking some of the paper bags and blowing them up and popping them.

Balloons are better, especially the ones you can make little dogs and other things out of.

Actually what I was going to say was a gallon of Bach flower rescue remedy but after having PTSD for a long time my sense of humour has got terrible.

Am I allowed in the other rooms?

Well, if you promise to not set off the fire alarms again! Lol

We'd all be making a beeline to the benzo booth!
