Hello everyone,

DH went to his first session with a psychologist today. I can't tell you how happy I am about that, and how proud I am of him. :claps: I've been trying to get him to do this since we met in 2001!

I have to say that I was also glad that I went into the session with him. Listening to him catalogue his various traumas from childhood over the hour and watching the psychologists' reactions resensitised me to his story. It was a little like hearing it for the first time again.

It was intense and hard for DH but by the end of it I think he had a glimmer of a new and better perspective too. OMG I have hope! :tongue:

I know things will probably get worse before they get better but now I know I'm not alone in trying to help him and that there is a purpose to the suffering. There is light in the tunnel.

Since the shootings at Virginia Tech on Monday I thought everybody could do with hearing something a little positive on the PTSD subject.
