After July 21st I will be finished with the PE therapy. It wasn't as bad as I thought but it wasn't easy either. What ever therapy you are in going through the traumas is going to be hard I think. From my experience at the VA she has been the most helpful so far. May have write a letter to the VA expressing that.
Anyway, she suggests a group therapy for me next, even though I've said I don't do groups of people, but that is the only way I can be seen weekly. I guess to taper me off of the weekly sessions we have been having and preparing me to go back to having the sessions 1-2 months apart.
21 veterans die a day from suicide, you would think the VA would wake up and bulk up the MH portion, really all portions of medical health.
Anyway, this group will be a CPT group and from what I understand all men. That will be interesting, on the upside maybe they will not be as emotional as the DBT class of women. On the downside my dad was a veteran and I think seeing male veterans being emotional will be a trigger, maybe not though, willing to give it a try.
Anyone else tried CPT therapy?
