Apparently I blocked out the word "forced". And how that happened, who knows because it's quite a "forceful" word!

So in light of this, I would change my answer. I was putting too much assumption into my previous answer. In studied regarding the treatment of PTSD, two factors need to be established at the gitgo: 1) validation for how you feel, and 2) control (over therapy, pace of therapy, etc... It is supposed to be a co-creative process between therapist & client.

The very nature of PTSD would harbor resentment towards being "forced" to do ANYTHING outside of your control since it's very likely that WHAT CAUSED the PTSD was out of your control as well. So, no. Above all else, forcing someone into therapy could very likely Cause the disorder of which the therapy portends to avoid in the first place!
