I am currently inpatient at a VA Hospital PTSD/SUD program. A VSO has advised me to pick up my treatment records and review them. I have done this before and it's a major trigger for me, I hate to read them . I just need you guys to tell me the reasons why I should read these reports and give me the courage to grit my teeth and do it!

I believe we are our best advocate. Knowledge is power. I get triggered reading mine also, but not knowing what is being put in it is worse for me

We can not turn a blind eye to our treatment. We need to be vested in our treatment. If you were being treated for any other ailment you should know what the doctor is saying on your condition no matt

I do try to avoid things for me that cause stress. So, it looks like you have 2 choices: 1. Read them. You can talk to your counselor and ask him to help you work through it. 2. Dont read them
