[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 484005, member: 84"] You can go to dozens of tdocs ect and not have it "click". There has to be the right fit in order to feel able to freely talk to someone, especially dealing with anxiety ect. I'm glad he and his new doctor have hit it off. That is wonderful. His reaction to the memories is also normal. At the time of the abuse emotions are usually stuffed away. He's feeling what he did then, now. That's why it's so hard. His doctor is wise to coach him to take it slower. Those emotions can be super intense and overwhelming. My therapist had me warn my family and friends that I may not be "myself" for a while. (boy was that an understatement lol ) I'd support him, but I'd try not to get too involved in the process. This is a road he has to take on his own with his doctor. And it's reasonable to assume that the abuse is probably the root cause of a lot of his anxiety issues. Emotionally though, for a while, he's just going to be all over the place. It won't all be bad days though and he may need you to help remind him of that. Because as he progresses in treatment the urge to stop gets awfully strong due to the emotional roller coaster it puts you on. I'm so glad he's in treatment, you've no idea. I'm praying he can stick it out. Hugs [/QUOTE]
