I'm Jennell,I'm 17,at the age of 9 I lost my father he was going to work and he got shot and killed,before he left I begged him not to go I don't know why I just felt like he shouldn't have gone,he told me he had to go to work anyways and he walked out the door,I never seen him again,After he died I began family therapy which I didn't feel like was good because I wasn't ready to talk about the trama,after his death life resumed back to as normal as it could be with everyone grieving,I went back to school,and started living on,I felt like I was doing okay,I felt normal.a few years later I noticed I was depressed,didn't like sleeping without the lights on,wanting someone to sleep with me,having nightmares,and so on,I never really brought it up because I thought it was nothing.Fast forward to the year 2015,I countiune to go to therapy and my therapist diagnosed me with PTSD,I feel it getting worse day by day,I've done Emotional Transformation and hypnosis thinking it would make my PTSD better when in reality it made my symptoms more worse and I feel more detached from reality I'm in my head 24/7,I hate living like this in stressed constantly and the emotional transformation made me feel happy 24/7 which is not a good thing because I need to process other emotions and it just makes me feel like I'm just going by and not really living life,i need help what do you think I should do?
 
Welcome Jennell. I'm curious I guess as to why you feel/felt that being happy 24/7 8 years after the loss of your father was not a good thing. Perpetual grieving is not a good thing. I think that you are right that you need to process other emotions in therapy.
 
@Jennell Welcome! :)

See about seeing another therapist, perhaps one that specializes in trauma, to seek a second opinion and another type of treatment that may work better for you.

@ Jennell

I'm sry about what happened to you and your family.:(

May I ask, other than your father's untimely passing, have you had a traumatic life history?
were you abused or neglected?
did you witness others being abused?

I would like to help as you have requested but I would like to understand you better.:happy:
