NHS, for complex ptsd following complex childhood abuse and neglect including ‘emotional incest’ and sexual abuse that carried on for years.

I’ve been seeing a MH nurse weekly for six months for stabilisation and doing really well, but she wants me to go and see her colleague who’s a psychologist. Psychologist rang today and said the three of us will meet in three weeks to discuss.

I’m scared. I don’t like talking about my childhood. It makes me feel like I’m passing even trying. I don’t want that to happen again. Psychologist said today not to panic and that they know what they’re doing but I feel it’s better all locked away, and not out in the open.

EMDR is great for trauma, if that's what they're offering. My brother did well with childhood trauma and my DH for PTSD from car crash. You do reel a bit directly after the session but you're changing the pathways in your brain it's not just talking therapy.
