I'm reading Peter Levine at the moment, and he seems to suggest that catharsis is unimportant in terms of healing from PTSD. I feel like catharsis is what's going to get me to being able to sleep through the night, hopefully without going to the doctor's.
I dunno I guess my feeling is that research can only tell us so much, because people are so vastly different.... just because something might be true for many people is not concrete proof that it's true for all people. I don't mean specifically what you stated but just in general. I'm always against straight statistics because to me anyway numbers tell only part of the story. I know thems fighting words to the mathies out there.... Sorry but it's how I feel...
Thanks for this!
