ptsd and relating to others
I just wanted other people's opinion/experience when it comes to talking with other people. I've dealing with ptsd on and off for the past 5years. I've recently gone back into therapy for it. This is by far the worst it's been. I'm seeing the same therapist i saw last time. She helped me alot last time. This time, I'm having trouble talking to her. I feel a huge disconnect talking to her. I kind of feel because she hasn't been thru this, that she can't understand and I can't relate to her. Some days I feel like i can't relate to anyone or they can't or don't understand what I'm dealing with. It makes things a whole lot worse. Anyone have the same feelings or gone thru anythimg similar?? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I haven't went through something like this but I'll give you a feedback (hopefully it helps). You said that she has helped you before and that it worked, the connection was there. Maybe back then she knew what to do and tell you. However, you said that things are now worst than before, maybe she needs more knowledge about ptsd and how to take it from here since it's more severe now . If she doesn't know a lot about this subject then she can't give you what you're looking for when it comes to developing a strategy that will work for you.
