I’ve been out of a highly abusive relationship for 3 years now and being out is the only way I’ve found stability , along with ssdi.
I’m still processing it, but I’ve come a long ways. Today I noticed everything reminded me of it and it annoyed me but I didn’t break down or have a flashback. Which is huge. Just a year ago I remember having one of the most intense flashbacks I’ve had , it was over her. Look how far I’ve come!
EMDR therapy is supposedly excellent for trauma.
It is. I’ve had it before for childhood stuff, changed my life. This time I had psychodynamic therapy. Also changed my life
I have a lot of trauma from my childhood.
I had short term therapy at the VA but it was a joke.
Me too, a lot of traumas, from small wounds to open wounds, sounds like you are on the mend
I have some abandon like issues from my childhood, I was taking therapy at the VA but my therapist was always pushing me to volunteer, her answer to all my problems.
I’ve had ptsd or cptsd im convinced since my brother tried to kill me and beat up my mom. It’s gotten better over time but I still don’t sleep well. Lately though I haven’t been having dreams about him as often. They are really intense when they happen and I wake from them a lot.
