Reallydown, you have come so far! If I hear you right, in one session, you were diagnosed for sure about ptsd and you proceded to tell your therapist about some of the memories. I think that is tremendous progress. Even if you didn't get very far, it takes time for the memories to process into words to describe to someone else. For a lot of us, it's just pure emotion that we feel and it is so difficult to describe it to someone else. For example, saying that I was terrified did not adequately describe what I was feeling during my emergence of memories. There just aren't words. I think that just opening up just a little is great. Progress is progress no matter how little. That's just a little bit closer to feeling better. Congrats!
Crunch time for me in this house. I'm preparing for my daughters birthday party and I'm admist a renovation. I've given myself a goal to have the living room finished. To give you an idea, the party is two weeks away, and I've yet to put in the floor. mmmmm? Stress anyone? But, it is positive. A challenge, I guess. I hope all of you are doing okay... |
