Dealing with the ptsd through therapy is lessening all those other symptoms that won me a bipolar dx and all the meds that messed up my body/brain.
So, while it's probably not what you want to hear, I think your therapist is right. His delivery sucks, tho.

It is what I want to hear ... Thank you. I have moments through the day were I regret cancelling the appointments ... Then Moments were i feel good about it. I think I am still going to take a break. I have created a good relationship with him but I think I need a break from all the metaphors.
I did lots of research on the drug my pdoc wants me to try ... And I'm not going to do it. I think if I just take some time for me ... Not open up my wounds and just focus on my family and life .... it will be good in the long run. My T says doing this is just coping ... But I am an excellent coper.
