Overcoming PTSD

Posted By JustDex

"Overcoming PTSD"

About: Talking Therapies Rotherham

(as a service user),

It did take a while to get the right treatment. Once I did actually get CBT in person it helped more than everything else combined did.

Breaking down the memories with guidance and the hand movement technique, and the dot on screen really helped putting that event in to perspective so I could process it.

Then I did it with the triggers too and now I can clean up broken glass again. I've also been to the place I was almost shot without panicking.

Hello JustDex,

Thank you so much for sharing this feedback with us, it’s so kind of you to give this insight into your therapy sessions with the service.

It’s wonderful to hear that the techniques you used in CBT were effective in helping you to process the memory of the event you went through. I am so happy to see that you’ve been able to return to the place where you were almost shot, and to know that you can now clear up broken glass again. You must have worked really hard in your therapy to be able to get so much from it, I know it’s not always an easy process to go through!

Reading this might help other people take that first step towards getting support, so thank you again. Wishing you all the best.

Kindest regards,

Faye

Clinical Lead
