yep the numbness happens a lot its a way of protecting yourself from the emotional pain - I found out that emotional pain is felt in the same part of the brain that registers physical pain which explained a lot ot me.

Coming off the meds - I can relate to that - you feel better so you think I can do tis without meds and then you crash and need the meds to get back on tract - I dont want to rely on the meds - I want to be able to rely on me - but I know I cant - so meds it is

My T - and they all have different ideas and ways - my T dealt with things as they came up - it is working - although the down times seem to be downer (is that a word?)- if your wife doesnt think she is making progress - then its good if she speaks to her T about it and they may be able to change things or explain whats happening - its hard starting with another T - but somtimes thats what you have to do if it cant be fixed - worth a try though -

You.ve got a lot of info on ptsd and you can get more from reading the posts here and asking if you need help - good luck on your journey - things do get better..... P7

Im glad you
