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 Intensive Hospital Program
Hi. I'm looking at undertaking an intensive trauma/dissociative program next year in a psyche hospital. Has anyone been in such a program? I'm looking for any feedback. Did it help or not? I'm a little apprehensive about the whole thing.

I did a six week program years ago which was extremely resourceful knowledge wise, taught me some methods in which to manage PTSD, taught me to expand my thinking in order to keep my mind active, etc etc. Some are a waste of space, some are good... really roll the dice and see how you go.

I agree with Anthony, though I have no experience of inpatient PTSD programs. But I say give it a go, see how it feels as you are doing it. What's the worst that could happen? If I was offered a treatment program like this, I'd take it... I think it's important to try anything that may help. You're bound to be apprehensive though, that's normal... just keep an open mind. You never know, it could be just what you need, or may help you along the way.....!
