Abuse Counseling Reviews

Show: for
Working / Worked
I went to a therapist who specialized in alcoholism and it helped to identify it wasn't me, it was him that was the problem.
Working thru the PTSD
It worked for a while, I just had a recent setback with a cheating man that made me revert to the depression.

The first counseling did me harm as they were not professionals & believed in emotional release. They did not see that I had PTSD & those techniques just retruamatised me and shut me down more, to the point I became suicidal. The next therapist diagnosed my PTSD immediately and treated me professionally, I saw her every weekly for over a year. It saved my life. My PTSD symptoms occur rarely now, are well managed most of the time.
got lots of help and found out a lot of stuff about emotional and verbal abuse.
