Submitted by Awen on Mon, 08/23/2010 - 11:36pmHi there, I am going to maybe be off the radar for a while. I am kinda burnt out on trauma. I had a terroble session with the new therapist where she was saying ADHD is caused by trauma and she's wrong, and so she is trying to again rewrite my history and I don't think I can trust her when her information is so not accurate, plus she didn't really get what I wa ssaying, my number one trigger in life. The only thing that destaibilizes me is therapy because the therapists are so awful. I am wondering if I should be in therapy at all, but yeah I have PTSD so I have to.
I am hoping to go to Two Rivers Hopsital and do some real trauma work, I cannot take the half assed shit. Or maybe I'll just be happy. I have been very happy and calm and social and joyful and sane unless I see a therapist and then I am suicidal and terrified and hitting myself because I think I cannot get better because they suck. But ummm, how come I am only like that when I see a therapist and not when I am living my life?
So anyway, I think I need a break from trauma talk, and so if I am not around, I am Ok, I just want to keep myself safe and that means not being really focused on treatements since they are my main trigger....
Blessed being! xo xo
Heather, I sometimes need
Heather, I sometimes need to get away too. Also, bad therapy is worse than no therapy. From what you have written you seem resouceful and capable of being a good advocate. I hope you find the help you are looking for. If you are okay and happy without stirring things up, then it is okay to wait til you find the right person to help you. The worst thing for me is when I make the mistake of thinking my life is not worthwhile unless i find someone to "cure" me.
