ptsd Group Therapy Question

[bob barker]

i dont know if this section is only for ptsd claims or what but here i go. i have been going to ptsd group therapy for a year and i dont think its for me. my question is how do i quit it and what other type of therpy is out there that you all have tried?

I would just let your group leader know ,that you don't think this is a good fit for you right now.

There are other options such as individual therapy ( one on one ) which is what i do. My therapist keeps trying to get me to group ,

but i'm a real private person and for now it's not for me. I started a new program called CPT therapy about 6 weeks ago , it's a 12 week

program that is pretty intense. It works with your most traumatic event, trying to give you a new outlook on the situation and coping skills. If your not in a stable frame of mind , i recommend not starting till you are. Starting at week 2 you get right into the meat and potatoes and it's been very hard . I've cried more in my last 5 sessions than i have in my entire life. Whatever you do though keep up some form of therapy as it is outlet for your emotions/ anger . It may seem like it's not helping at times but it does .We all need to vent.

Good luck in your journey.
