Strengths

[Fraser46]

The psychologist that I see as asked me for part of my homework for this week to write a list of strengths that a demonstrate in relation to my PTSD. This is such a difficult thing to do, as I am really not sure what my strengths are?

So far I have:
- brave, to have gone through the trauma that I have experienced, although if I am having a bad day it is difficult to feel brave.
- determined, I have speech medical advice and have attended treatment abroad and in the UK for PTSD and Depression.
- able to calm myself, I have become much better at calming myself down when I am upset/frightened.

Thinking of strengths is so tricky!!

Knowledgeable? About PTSD?

Resourceful?

Great start to your strengths.

I've been doing something similar to that. I started reviewing my lifetime decisions and turning points and reinterpreting them in a positive way. It was a very good exercise.
