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 BioFeedback - A Type of Therapy
My therapist referred me to a psychologist who specializes in Biofeedback and I had my first session last week for all the anxiety I have been experiencing especially concerning the new job at work. It went really well but only in the office. I do not know why but I cannot seem to make the anxiety go away. It is as though the panic has become chronic because I wake up with it. I think I will go back for more because the panic attacks and startle response as well as the general anxiety tends to take over one's life

Bio feedback will take more than one session just like any thing you try to learn. You will learn to recognize and control in time, that is the idea. The fact it went well in office first time is amazing! You will be doing well in no time. I wake with it too and do well at controlling it so I know it can be done. Good luck.

dshanks,
I have had biofeedback many times and feel so refreshed afterwards but the feeling doesn't last. One needs practise, practise and practise. Get some relaxation tapes and try it at home.
