Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Hodge,

So happy that you made it to the appointment without too much stress. Even happier that you and the new Therapist seem to be hitting it off together. That's half of the battle.

Wendy

Great stuff :) I like the no shit philosophy mixed with enough sensitivity to be able to pick up on things. Gosh its so important to actually like your own therapist! Good luck with it all!

I'm late coming into this thread Hodge, but I'm really glad it went well for you! I hope you continue to like her, a good therapist can be difficult to find.

Thanks so much for the support, everyone! The more I go over our appt. yesterday, the more I have a good feeling about this. I agree it's nice to like your therapist and so important to have confidence in their perceptions, thinking, knowledge, approaches, etc. I tested out some tidbits with her that I learned with my previous therapist, and she gets those, but she also has other ways to approach things, which is great.

I think it also helps if they like you, too. I got the feeling that was mutual, so that's good! And I think she will be challenging as well as compassionate, which is what I'm paying her for, after all :) !
