Thread: Trauma timeline

  1. #1

    Trauma timeline

    Has anyone wrote a trauma timeline before? Or just wrote about their trauma in general? I don't really know where to start

    Nope. Sounds like hell to me

    I just want to feel like I'm doing something and I've heard from other people that it's something they'll ask me to do in therapy anyway.

    It's not something I have ever been asked to do and it's not something I would even attempt without having therapy in place first... but that's just me..

    I've written a few brief things here, but never the full amount or in a timeline...

    Why are you trying to second guess what will happen in therapy? Every therapist has a different way of working and it will also vary based on what they think is right for you. I don’t see the point putting yourself through this if you don’t have the support in place should you need it.

    I just don't know what else I'm supposed to do for myself

    Sweetheart give yourself time. Maybe start with writing a list to show your Dr?

    It seems I'm going to he a while off from speaking to a therapist. I don't have anyone to talk to, I figure writing would be the next best thing to get the thoughts out of my head. I'm fed up of feeling so sh**ty

    While that would normally be a good way forward for some, with trauma it’s different and, as Suzi has suggested, doing that without the support of a GP or therapist might not benefit you
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Have you thought about self referral specialist therapy options?
