    I promised to update so....

    I went along today for the assessment...it was just a young girl and I was doubtful about how it would go ...quite quickly though she realised it wasnt your 'average' dilemma with me...

    She is planning to confer with her superiors about whether either

    Person centred therapy

    or

    Post traumatic stress disorder therapy

    would be best for me?

    I didnt lead her in any direction - I just allowed the issues to speak for themselves...anyway...I'm glad I went and I do feel as though I'm on the road towards some professional help. The nightmares in particular are getting very much more troublesome. Its exhausted me just talking about it all today...

    Loz, I'm so glad she's going to consult her superiors. I always trust the sincerity of someone when they can admit they need a little help, rather than make a snap judgment.

    Thinking of you,

    Baby steps, take your time, don't rush, allow the process to happen, step-by-step and one day, one moment at a time.

    We are all here for you in what we can do for you in our limited capacity :)

    Good to hear you are taking steps to help yourself through professional means, the road now may be rough, but once you're through this you will be so much stronger and resilient!

    Hi Loz I am glad you made the step that was very brave. Like tammy I think it's really good that the girl you spoke to is going to get some advice and help from her superiors.

    Will be praying for you HUGS RosePetal

    Thanks Rose Petal...people say there is strength in asking for help when you need it and I hope they're right.

    It's a very brave and strong person who can confront their fears and learn to face them down.

    Not everyone can do that.

    Please let us know how it's going from time to time!

    Wish you a peaceful sleep tonight,

    Palm
