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.

Default What Happens at Therapy When Time is Out?
Do you ever see your T and talking about something but theres really no close to it when you have to go? Like we'll start on this next week but the week goes by and all is forgoten, or it's something I think I could use help with that specific week but time is gone, so your kinda lost. I don't know if this makes sense but thought I'de try. Has this happened to you? What do you do?

I guess you could ask your T to let you know how much time is left in the session before you are ready to leave. My T always finishes about 15-20 mins before time is up and asks me if I want to do any relaxation. We always do this and I don't feel like I have been left up in the air. My T also asked me what specific parts of my life I felt I wanted to work on, rather like a time line. She asks where I want to start for next week so that every area is explored. Perhaps you could ask your T for a more outlined structure for your sessions so that you know where you are and do not end up feeling like you have been in your sessions.

Please tell your T what you have expressed on here. They should be allowing you to feel in control of your therapy.

This happens every week. i dont wear a watch, so I end up sobbing about something right on the hour, and then have to leave the room and face others with a wet, red face. Then I have to drive the car.

cypher I know exactly how you feel ! This has been happening to me more recently, after the first time my T told me time was up I was very frustrated . I talked out the end of how I was feeling with a loved one, it helped just to get out my thoughts and feelings. I keep better time now so I dont get in the position and try to get out anything major at the beggining of the session,an hour can be such a short amount of time.
