Trauma Therapy

[SpiritSong]

I finally started my Trauma Therapy this past Friday, though I had waited for it for months. The wait was worth it. My Therapist, she is Christian, had me first write a list of things that I can do to cope during the week, should I remain triggered after session. (I have been doing some of these things this weekend).

Then she showed me a chart that describes emotions and asked me what emotion I was in and at what level.

After that, we started with my earliest trauma and talked me through that. Then the next earliest and so on.

I feel pretty good. I feel some relief. It was worth the wait.

I had been with another therapist for years. Then one day she said she could no longer help me. I am so glad that she did this. I would still be floundering around out there if she had not.

For the past few months the new therapist and I have been doing set-ups for this Trauma Therapy. We cleaned up all the things that the other Therapist could not handle. I guess sometimes you just have to get with the right person in order for things to work best.

(My diagnosis is cPTSD).

Thanks for the prayers, I really appreciate them!

I guess sometimes you just have to get with the right person in order for things to work best.

I'm happy to know God provided another helper for you. Whenever I am feeling anxious or depressed, I try to pray and meditate on verses about anxiety. Hymns are very comforting to me as well. I pray this counselor will be of much help to strengthen your faith and confidence in God and His ability to provide for all our needs.

Thankful you're getting some help! And that you have a Christian counselor! Yay! Best kind to have.

Glad to hear that you finally found a therapist who could work better with you. People in programs will always tell you, if a therapist isn't working out, there's no reason why you should feel like you should stick with that person and try and make it work.
Remember, this is also YOUR time and YOUR money! Also, your wellbeing is at stake, so you want to make sure you're getting the best for your money, know what I mean?

Thanks. However, I did not know that anything was better or even available. If you have never had something better than what you are getting, you won't find that out, probably, until after you have switched practitioners.
