My therapist told me yesterday that I graduated. I no longer need to see her regularly. I am sure there will be sometime down the road when I will. I will watch something on TV or a Movie that will trigger a PTSD response. But I have learned how to go with it and know I'll make it through it.

I just ran in to JM. We showed up at the drugstore door at the same moment. I greeted him and opened the door for him. He is feeble and wasn’t making a lot of sense. But we stood and talked for a few minutes and wished each other well.

I think that is behind me. PTL

I’m not saying I won’t have another PTSD episode. But God is good and I feel that I have traveled a long healing journey.

My hope and prayer is that this has been helpful to you. Remember, God is good and He will help you to overcome.

I found a devotional on this topic by InterVarsity Press:

Psalm 10: A Prayer of Helplessness

Helplessness. It is an experience shared by everyone. There is no way out. There are no alternatives. It is an experience full of fear, rage and despair. Because our culture places such a high value on individualism and self-reliance, the experience of helplessness is full of shame for us. We expect that others will blame us for letting it happen. And we end up blaming ourselves. In times of helplessness, however, shame and blame are not helpful. What might be helpful is to know that God understands helplessness and that he hears our prayers.
