Oh sweetie,

It does sound like PTSD but only a professional who knows you can say and if she has said it is I am sure it is. I was told I have it too if that helps and through counselling it is affecting my life less and less.

I am not able to say a lot today, sorry.

But please don;t be too hard on yourself.

The kinds of things you are describing would certainly be consistent with PTSD, Ashley. I think based on your descriptions that you can trust your psychologist to know what she's doing.

I know i can trust her but .. well i thought i could trust many people and they ended up betraying and hurting me ..sure that<s not really in her job description.. but i don<t know she explained a bit my flashes and made the comparison like a bee.. when when it comes neer i shut it out but it is always there and will resurface when i least exect it and when it relates to something i live in my present.. i don<t know what she means exacly her comparison is slightly .. odd..

It's actually a pretty good description, I think, although it may be confusing to you right now. Why not ask her to explain it to you when you next see her? You need to tell her what worries you and what you don't understand - she can be a much more effective therapist if you can be a partner in your own therapy.
