So I am just wondering...I feel confused by her response.

This new therapist says PTSD is one of those popular new terms, often

overused. She knows little to nothing of my present life situation right now-

well - have you ever had a reaction like this ? Yes I felt it was a "reaction"-

almost defensive,

So my question: is this actually a common view of PTSD , shared by many

therapists ?
This reply being written another day. I want to thank everyone that shared their thoughts and experiences because in between all of those shared words from the heart, I found other people that get it, that understand. I learned better how to approach with this T....but as things turn out, this is how it is now.
My last visit- and is my last visit- I felt so much worse it felt like there was no relating, no connection nothing I said or did not say changed the basic nature of us possibility being able to work together. I left last time feeling so confused, saying to myself- (you know that "self talk"- am I such off track and so wrong that even a therapist does not get it or me?)

Later that same day, in passing conversation with a close friend, she highly recommended the other T that works there. No big discussion, just try this T.
So I feel hopeful. I called first T, brought closure to our meeting to work together any longer. I tried doing this with our last visit but she didn't get what I was saying. I guess. But more positive note, I am now working on getting an appointment with a therapist that will help guide me through this situation I am in and support my motivation.

thank all of you for being who you are, and being open.
Thanks for this!
