Hi Leanne, I don't have any experience of The Priory, but I wanted to ask about your PTSD!If you'd rather not answer I'd understand!

I just wanted to know when you were diagnosed with it and how it affects you you on a daily basis?

The reason I ask is, It's something I wonder all the time! Do I suffer from PTSD myself, purely based on my messed up mind and some disturbing content!

Not sure if it's something that can be treated, or it's merely labelling it!

I can understand why you are scared.

Keep us updated and stay safe!

Dont be scared, professionals around you want to see you getting treatment and have safe conversations on what you are thinking to help put a clear puzzle for you with strategies, at the right time in a safe place at your pace. The sessions will expose your trauma/thoughts, but in a safe place with a person asking the right questions during that conversation. They will be controlled. The therapy sessions can be 90min-2hrs which maybe few sessions a week without covid having an impact and on average positive therapy can be anything from 6-12mths. However with brain injury they may require a specialist person and this may take a while.
