PTSD/Write, Write, Write

Recap: confess you have a problem, don't be afraid of labels, seek your inner strength, find a qualified person to help, be willing to go to the dark hidden place, find a support person, call on God and now write, write, write.
Why would I suggest that a person write about events that are hurtful and scary? You might also ask isn't it bad enough that it has to be talked about? My answer to that is yes. When we talk sometimes we are guarded in what we say for a number of reasons. What will they really think? What if it gets too scary? What if they think it is not that bad? What if they don't believe me? The questions could go on and on, these questions are some of the ones that have kept a person from dealing with the issues in the first place. Writing on the other hand is just you and your thoughts of course something to put them on. It can be said however you need to. How it is said is not the important thing, the saying is. There is no judging, no criticism, mistakes are allowed, it doesn't matter how things are said, you don't have to worry about hurting some ones feelings and the beat goes on as to why it helps. It also can help with the expressing of the feelings
that seems too hard to verbalize. You have freedom to say all the forbidden things you could never bring yourself to say while a person is sitting in the room. It is not anything about that person, telling them right at that moment might be just more painful or stressful than you can handle at the time. You can take a break when it gets to intense then go back and continue. It helps you take a really good look at what is hidden. It is also helpful to share with your therapist because it can help them to know how better to help you. It also helps you to talk about them easier, releasing the strong hold they have on you. If you are a drawer that is also a helpful way of expressing what is on the inside waiting to get out. It really is all about you and you getting better. Getting better is important it helps you get the life back that was really meant for you in the first place. Be a victor, I know you can do it. Keep up the great work.
