First day of PHP Trauma Recovery
First day in the trauma recovery program went well. The people are good. It's not as controlling an environment as I feared it would be. And they're flexible about my fatigue issues. Lunch break is 12-1:15 so there's time to lay on the couch for half an hour or more. And in case i hadn't told you, the program is 9-3. There is a walk to the dining hall but I'm going to try to get out of that by bringing my own lunch and just staying in the building we have our sessions in. Conserve energy, not tire my legs, and that way I can keep counting calories as I have been, too.
One person had a panic attack today so I was able to see how they responded which was good. There's a different therapist every morning though, so there still may be some tough ones ;). 2 of the patients have DID so I've met each of them at least twice by different names. At lunch one of them turned to me "Hi, we haven't met, I'm ______." And I thought to myself "Didn't we already meet and wasn't your name _______?" But I figured it out. :D
I haven't met my psychiatrist there, or individual therapist yet. Perhaps tomorrow.
Anywhoo. I'm hopeful and think it will be good. 3-4 weeks and I'll be healed ;). Peace,Beth
