PTSD for me is just intellectual terminology to highlight how my mind and body have reacted to supressed trauma.

Now I have an understading of this I am working on the route cause. PTSD is not my priority any longer.

I will not be be entering into a relationship wearing a badge that says 'hi my name is Spirit and by the way I have PTSD, just so you know'! When and if I meet someone I will divulge that I have had a traumamtic past that I have had therapy for. I may express how I was diagnosed with PTSD at the time due to my supressed emotions over the trauma. I DO NOT FEEL I SHOULD WEAR A HEALTH WARNING for future relationships. I guess this is how I have perceived certain information on here. I do not need to to fill out a risk assessment questionnaire on behalf of any future relationships. I will not be getting into a relationship unitl I can offer the best of me anyway!

I am in therapy to undo all of this. I am in therapy to heal my trauma and any other secondary issues. I am in therapy to learn how to live in a fucntional manner. I am in therapy to live independently of any labels. I am in therapy to heal my wounds. I am in therapy to learn all of the skills that I have not been taught due to my childhood difficulties in order to learn what are appropriate behaviour's and attitudes.

I do not intend on repeating any of the dysfunctional behaviors, coping mechanisms that have been brought about by my past. I am doing this to live as I should of always been! I can already see this happening.

I will communicate openly and honestly.
