Brain Therapy / Counseling
Alright let us first address the stigma that surrounds those that receive care for their mental well being. When did it become wrong to want to improve ones mental state? We are continually trying to change our bodies and outward appearance to be better, but forget that happiness is not always about just the body. Some times our brains absorb trauma and for some the "wires" are not quite doing what they should. No matter the reason we should never feel like we can not seek help, even if it is just talking something out with a friend.
As those who have read my previous posts will know. I suffer from depression and PTSD. I will admit that it took a lot of faith, prayer and self reflection to realize that I needed more help than my anti-depressant alone could offer. Drew and I had been seeing a wonderful therapist for Marriage Counseling and I asked him about doing a few personal sessions. I knew that not all the "troubles" I saw in our marriage were not just couple issues but personal issues.
I have been going for about a month now and am very pleased with my mental healing and how I feel about myself. I may at a later date write about the trauma that I have been dealing with, but for now while I am still healing we will leave it as "the Trauma". One of the most amazing things is EDMR, it has changed my life and taught me that my brain knows how to deal with trauma if I will just get out of its way.
Please know that if you need someone to talk to I am here and so are your loved ones. It takes courage and faith to be vulnerable and let others knot that you are hurting inside, but know that it is worth it. Also know that it might not work right when you want or how. In that case realize that all things have their time and the Lord will bless you to find that time and place.
