Hmmm... fair enough, and well said. I think what your going to find though Cat, to be honest, is when you go through trauma therapy, it is not sensitive in the aspect of a counsellor allowing you to just naturally get things out yourself, because if we could do that, then why would be need to see a counsellor to begin with? Sufferers of PTSD are always fearful of the unknown within their own trauma, ie. if pushed, what will happen. The facts often are though, is that anyone with PTSD does need to be pushed at some point, to help themselves get past the trauma. If someone is willing to work away quite hard themselves, then they don't really need to be pushed... maybe just prodded in the right direction every now and then.

Yes, sensitivity is in their, but getting someone to rid themselves of trauma, is more often than not, a very one sided pushy event. It sounds scary, but it is the most beneficial thing any sufferer could ever do for themselves. It doesn't matter where you do it, and the methods vary, but definately the most beneficial.
