Thanks, again, everyone who replied.
Anthony, yes. I understand about wanting the worst trauma first. That’s why I like this site. I always suspected my therapist (s) had it backward. The last one that wanted to do the EDMR and go from the earliest age, and trauma, I could remember and work up to the major one (s). They all seemed to do that. Why do you think they do that?
If the worst trauma you have had, is not the one that caused the PTSD. Which do you begin with? I mean if you already had PTSD, and THEN the worst thing you could ever possibly image, (or couldn’t EVEN imagine!) happened a year or so later? Which trauma do you choose first?
Also, when making the bullet point list, do you go in chronological order? For instance, I read your list about your deployment. ~shudder~ was that your worst traumatic event? Or was the whole list, just one component of the trauma that caused your PTSD.
Sorry for all the questions, I am having a “slow brain” week!
*Waves at Veiled*
Thank you for your patience, I’ll read some more this week and try and get some clarity for myself!
Also. Thank you for the welcome, Cathy and Becvan. (Becvan you will find the money well spent for that book! It’s a work book, type book; I didn’t own the copy I read, so I need a copy also!
Thanks once again, to all! Sorry if I am sounding like an idiot just now.
