About Me
I am a mother of 3, step-mom of 2 and have been happily married now for 16 years. I have a degree in Radiology but am looking to change my career to being a public speaker on the effects of childhood trauma and abuse. I love God, my family, my friends and my country. Just an aside... I am the only person I know that gets told to STOP reading...lol

Close Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
I was recently diagnosed with PTSD. I knew I had had a trauma filled childhood but my therapist said that I am in the top 5 of the worst she has ever heard... WOW! I was soooo shocked. So I saw her for 3 months and did a PTSD workbook before we started EMDR as she didn't feel I was in a safe enough place to begin.... we start in 2 weeks. Yikes... I am soooo nervous!
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- I have always had coloring books. Now that I understand about PTSD, I know it was the child in me that needed to express herself. This is a great source of relaxation for me. Just simple color books, nothing too elaborate. I enjoy it a great deal.
- EMDR Working / Worked
- Will be starting this in 2 weeks.. I will let you know. I only had one session to see what happened and it through me in to seizures.... I actually started with a trauma that I didn't think I had any real trouble with...lol
- Music Working / Worked
- Have always believed in the old adage.. Music soothes the savage beast.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Doing counseling now. It hasn't really helped because I have always been able to talk about my trauma. My problem is that I dissociate from all my feelings.
- Reading Working / Worked
- As you can tell from my name, I am an avid reader. My husband says that I inhale and they are gone..lol Because I use books as my escape from the world and reality my therapist told me I must limit myself to 3 or 4 books per week. I usually read one or two per day...
- Talking Somewhat Helpful
- I have never had trouble talking about my abuse. I just can't feel anything about it.. it's in the past... blah blah blah I am working on not dissociating when it is something painful.
- EMDR Not Working
- Started having seizures and had to stop. Looking for something else now
Close Incest Survivors
Raped and molested by all the males in my family with the exception of my dad... nuf said
Treatments

- Nothing I have found is effective completely but I am also PTSD and therapy is rocking my world right now but I see how i might be ok
