Hi. My name is Jenn and at a T session today i was diagnosed as having PTSD.

Before i left my appointment today she said to me that next week we will be going over a treatment plan... I didn't have time to ask her but maybe you all will have an idea....

Will part of the treatment consist of talking out the things that created this disorder? ( I'm assuming it is and hoping its not )

I have had more than one instance that has brought me to this point and have been under others care before; however this is the first counselor that has said she is very positive that i suffer from PTSD.

I'm afraid of confronting all these issues head on. Some of them i have spent years and years trying to forget. The thought of bringing them back to the surface scares the crap out of me. I suppose that is why i am asking if this is a part of the treatment. I guess I'm trying to be as prepared as i can be if this is something that has to be done.

On a final thought, sorry if this has all sounded choppy, I'm kind of racing tonight... not sure what to think.

Thanks all
