Patience is the big one Jen... just hang tight, keep on him gradually in conjunction with what he is learning from this course, so he doesn't get slack afterwards, and it will come together for you both. If you push him to hard, too fast, it can have the reverse effect. If you don't push him enough, then he will relapse into his old habits. Just remember though, that relapse is part of the PTSD cycle during healing, and he will need that push to keep him going, active and in control, and you will find every day he will gradually come back around to life once again, especially if he keeps his counselling up and pushing himself during it. |
