".... prevailing practice in psychiatry, a technique that encourages patients to relive painful or traumatic events. Yet, for some patients, this therapy may inadvertently cause a resurfacing of PTSD symptoms and psychological distress, putting that patient at risk for health problems."

This is what I believe I was feeling when I started the thread, DBT Gives Me PTSD. The anger I felt when ever I started reading about DBT came from my having the same experience as what is written about in the above article.

I do better when I try to repress certain memories or stay away from situations that trigger my PTSD. (Within reason of course when it comes to being able to function IRL as far as avoinding triggering situations.)

Just thinking about being "forced" to think about or be put in situations that trigger me was setting off a trigger in me! I hope all who read and/or responded in my DBT/PTSD thread will read this article.
