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.

My best advice is to confront your trauma. Write it down with all of the details and how you feel about it. The more you supress your trauma the more nightmares you will have.

Face it, Trace it, Then erase it!

Did you have the dream first and then this happened. I thought the dream you had was related to your trauma.

Peace in your healing
Tammy

Sally,

What I got out of your post was that you went to therapy, and some man came in, pointed his finger and said bang, bang, bang???? Am I correct???

If this is what happened, I know it must have been scary for all of you, but you have to try and remember that he probably has issues too. People that go to therapy have issues, some may be more sever than others.

Maybe he was just joking around too, some people use humor to cover up how they really feel.

As frightening as it was, you really should just face that fear and go to your next appointment. Not everything in live can be avoided, we have to just face stuff that is unpleasant.
