I'm so sorry that you're having such a difficult and painful time! Unfortunately, sometimes therapists say stupid things even when they are really good therapists. I hope you can talk to her and tell her what you said here. In my experience, when I get upset at something my T says, it often can be because I take a totally different meaning out of his words than he intends.

It's good that you are getting tested. PTSD can cause memory issues and attentional problems so I'm glad you're getting this sorted out. Once you know the root of the problem, you can work on implementing various strategies that can help you. Let us know how the testing turns out (if you want to). I'm a special education teacher so I know what you are going through.

Things WILL get better for you, Exotic! Hang in there and keep us posted.
