PTSD and Trauma recovery

FireSignFemme · 07-22-2019, 10:23 PM

I was dumped by my counselor last week. I'm not getting a substitute because apparently he and his supervisors have decided no further work needs to be done. Or maybe can be done or – I don't know.

Is it publicly funded? I know the President has cut a lot of funding. So angry and sorry for this setback for you. Are there other resources in your area?

I'm so sorry. That's really crappy they're not giving you a substitute. That's happened to me before and it sucks. Are you ok? Do you have any other local resources?

No I'm okay, actually doing well. I wound up in therapy because I began having exaggerated startle response experiences again. This after years and years without them. So I had to go back to see why this seemingly resolved a long time ago issue was cropping back up again, this when I wasn't experiencing any new traumatic events to account for it.

Fortunately I have coverage. However there are low cost, even some no cost options for those in our community who don't. Or do, but have coverage that's so limited, even though they're working they still wind up using some of these same services. Also there are also a lot of resources in our community for people who need support but not formal therapy -12 Step meetings, religious programs, other self help things like that.

Though I've been booted out of counseling I will continue to see a psychiatrist for med management. I can't remember now what they said, I think four times a year, but it might have been every three months. For anxiety and sleep. I never needed meds for either before but without meds I'm still somewhat anxious and sometimes have difficulty sleeping because of all the health things I've been though.
