(((((Elan)))) Oh your not being critisized here at all, I truely appreciate your posting this material and I agree with stumpy, it can be of help to many, there are many articles to think about in your post. Yes some of the articles are based on theories for ways to deal with trama ten years ago. In the past ten years there has been continued studies that are revealing that for some it may be harder than others and new treatments are being offered as we learn more about what actually occurs in the brains of some patients that exprience PTSD. Even now we are using technology that is showing us even more about our brains than ever before, we are always learning and basing treatment on all the new information we are learning. However this doesn't mean old methods of treatment don't work or should not continue to be considered.

I have come to know that I have battled PTSD most of my life off and on and many of these techniques are things that I did apply in my own life that made it possible for me to overcome and still have a productive life. What I am addressing now is a more severe condition of PTSD and I am truely trying to understand it even more. My new therapist is trying to explain to me why this happened and I am trying to understand it as I do get very crippled by it and very confused as to why my old methods are not working for me now. It truely is challenging but I have been told that I will learn how to manage what I am addressing now better.

Again, thank you for all your input Elan it is worth considering this information that can be helpful. I intend to let it toss around in my mind and rethink it.
