hey. i guess i think... that a lot of people with PTSD don't know how to control their being triggered. but that it is something that they can learn to control. i mean... if we couldn't learn to control our triggers then therapy would be kind of pointless.

i reckon that a lot of clinicians don't understand that people with PTSD often don't know how to control their triggers. and don't know what to do to cope with the flashbacks and intense emotions and stuff. i've had a bit of a hard time with that with crisis services in the past so i have a lot of sympathy with what you are saying, i think.

hang in there. i think clinicians are getting better with respect to knowing about this stuff over time. but some aren't very good :-( thats true :-(
