Introduction

[Not Alone]

Welcome, Bella. 

Yeah.. I'm no longer her patient! I ended up being so triggered just by thinking of her. From the time she got angry, and til I stopped seeing her altogether, I was in one long emotional flashback! It was painful...!
But who knows... she might be right! I'm really confused about the whole thing.

Glad to hear that you stopped seeing that therapist.
I wonder if your desire for validation that you have cptsd is more a need for validation that your trauma was significant? Just a thought.

Yeah that might be right.. I do have people in my life that validates my experiences and symptoms. Feel blessed in that sense. But I do crave some validation from someone who are supposed to know. Someone educated about these things... Don't know why it's so important to me though.
The specific set of symptoms I do have, should validate both the trauma and my experiences for my self... But I more often than not, find myself very confused about it. No matter how much I read about it and get validation from friends and family.

Thank you for your comment.
