Abuse Counseling Reviews

I have an amazing councilor
He isn't going to his appointments

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.
Seen some therapists to discuss the situation.
works well
it worked i still go every 4weeks
Just started!
i have just started actually talking about my past. I have tried therapist here and there but I didn't talk about anything but what was in the now or someone else's problems
i was treated for PTSD
