Well I do agree with Perna and she has a very good way of looking at things, always enjoy your imput Perna.

That is also a good way to look at it and how a therapist helps you break it down and instead of making it larger than it was, as Perna lays out the fractions in years and locked in perceptions, you see the real demensions of it. Perna is right about how it doesn't grow with us, but it can magnify as we grow and understand life better.

So Perna's approach is another good way to look at it where in therapy you are assisted in minimizing it to just a fraction of your life. Very interesting Perna, I think I will take some of that for myself.

I also think that is a very healthy way to work on PTSD as for some reason one event can bring many events together. So your method of fractioning things out can help by psychologically addressing it that way.

And I do agree with Jazzy about that support system or person, if you have someone that can take that role on.

But don't forget, HELLO, you also have PC. As you can see here there is a lot of supportive people who can address you if you need extra strength and support.
So, in a way you have a good support team of others that really understand the experience and help when you have a difficult time addressing it.

So, if you don't have someone to be there you can always come here and even plan on coming here after your appointment for support. Remember that we are here for you when you need it.
