Poll Poll: Have You Gotten Better, Worse, Or The Same With Therapy?

[marblemaze]

I stayed the same, but at least found out that I have PTSD. I haven't ruled out seeing a therapist again, I will try to find someone with a warmer personality if I do, and not someone who tries various methods. I will be honest here, I don't trust the methods of dealing with this that are out there, the more I read about them. But I think someone supportive would help me, in that it would just help my brain to receive support, since it's all about patterns in the brain after all. I would just want to talk to someone to talk to who understands. That's all I'd really be looking for, unless I wanted a medication for anxiety, but those can be hard on the body in other ways, so I've avoided that so far. I would be looking for something not too hard on the liver, if I did this. I'm sure there are others who might disagree with me on some of this, I'm only sharing my honest thoughts and feelings in relation to myself here, unless it helps anyone else.

It can be rough at times of exposure, but things never got any worse. Either better, or the same after each session. Overall sum? I've grown a lot. After 10 sessions over 9 months, I can manage my anxiety, anger, flashbacks and dissociation waaaaay better. It's still a pain in the ass to control panic attacks and the depressive part of it, though, at least for me.
