for a class project (ways of healing or something) i created a book about abuse; i added stats, letters from t or myself, pictures from parts, a timeline, articles on suicide, my own hair that i had chopped off when it was touching me and causing me panic attacks, and some other facts. I brought the book into t the other night and she asked me "Were everyone else's projects on PTSD?"
Huh! I didn't know mine was on PTSD, I thought it was on abuse!

Was it ok your book was on PTSD? Many of us who have PTSD have experienced abuse in some form or another. Sounds like you did an awesome job!
Take care, Dee

I just wouldn't have seen it like that. I never consciously made it on ptsd. everything t talks about she relates it to ptsd. not abuse, not DID, not depression - all just ptsd. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it.

My T related everything to PTSD too. Sometimes I worry he's put me into some sort of "PTSD" box and isn't seeing the whole me.
But on the other hand, I think I'm healing (slowly, slowly, slowly) so maybe it doesn't matter what the label is. Or maybe he's right! Or both  ((((((((((( kiya ))))))))))) That sounds like an awesome project. |

My counselor kind of casts everything in the light of PTSD as well. I suspect it's an effort to get me to put the abuse and the many symptoms outside of myself--so that more than anything the emphasis is on my reactions now as understandable. He often says, what bothers me is not the abuse, but my memories of it. That puts my problem in the present, rather than the past.

Hmmmm.... having to work to wrap my mind around this
"He often says, what bothers me is not the abuse, but my memories of it. That puts my problem in the present, rather than the past. " Maybe that is why there is such a flimsy feeling around it - something non-tangible that I can't quite grasp about the stuff that plagues me. I'll have to take this to t and see what she says. thanks.
