I've seen him several times since this post.
He said talking about the past wasn't helpful to me, and that I was reliving it. I was so shocked-i did that for over 5 years. It made sense; even this week, I had flashbacks within a few minutes of talking about PTSD. It takes me over...
I felt so much better after talking with him, revisiting the therapy. He was very kind and seemed to want to help. I'm glad i reconnected with him.
