Please Introduce Yourself Here / Seeking Advice for Counseling
April 21, 2016, 10:34:04 PM
Hello,
I think I may have cPTSD because of emotional abuse I experienced throughout my childhood. One of my major "symptoms" is an almost consistent worry about doctors and medical situations because of how my autonomy was disregarded consistently in doctors' offices. Because of this I have a very hard time talking to counselors, especially because I fear being put on medication to "solve" my problems. Can anyone give me advice on ways I could approach a counselor and bring up cPTSD without being completely dismissed?
