I thought that was nice that she was trying to get the group in a better mindset before setting us out into the world. I guess we will see how next week goes.
We are still filling out ABC sheets. Those are harder than they look like. We are also trying to determine what our stuck points are. That's mind boggling for me and I wonder if I even have stuck points. I feel so numb about everything. I've looked through two weeks of ABC sheets and it's hard to say whether there are any stuck points or not. Can you even have PTSD without stuck points?

you do not have to have PTSD to have stuck points. stuck points are....
negative beliefs, conflicting beliefs, negative behaviors that make you feel bad, and make you feel bad about yourself....
heres a common parents stuck point....
children are throwing a temper tantrum in a store... what does the parent say to their self.... I am a horrible parent, they are staring at me so I must be doing something wrong. what does the parent feel... angry, sad, hurt, like the child is ....all the negative emotions... what does a stuck point parent do.... negative behavior yell at the child. bribe the child, dont bother finishing the shopping which results in another trip to the store with another possible temper tantrum event.
my point even normal non PTSD people have their negative beliefs, conflicts in beliefs, and negative behaviors that make them feel bad about their self.
