PSTD is considered a problem in itself so how is it not just about telling them your problems? Isn't PE therapy is a part of that therapy?

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves two main procedures: imaginal exposure, which is the repeated retelling of the trauma memory, and in vivo exposure, which is gradually confronting situations, places, or things that are reminders of the trauma or feel dangerous.

And please do not mistake my own personal stance as if I disregard anyone listening to us as utterly useless (whether you have to pay someone to do it or not). If it were utterly useless there would be no need to pray to our heavenly Father pour ourselves out even to Him at times. He has just always proven (at least to me) to have the fix my soul needs (so I will always promote Him as that way of life for a true soul fix) and not another. The benefits include, He is always there (no transportation needed to get to His location). He is always affordable (as in free) and He can bless the poorest of us (in such matters whether we are financially poor or in spirit) and there is just nothing impossible for Him. However, the scripture does show us that even Jesus did not do many mighty works in certain places because of the peoples unbelief.
I had to talk about what I went through but not repeatedly.
The focus was how I was doing at the present time and improvement I was making

Maybe you did not take advantage of this (personally) but I was just listing how part of the instituted therapy for PSTD is described and how it is said to work when someone opts for this therapy.

The other parts of this therapy are said to consist of Psychotherapy and Medications

  • Psychotherapy: This includes trauma-focused therapies such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These therapies focus on the traumatic event and its impact on the individual, helping them to process and cope with the trauma.
  • Medications: The FDA has approved sertraline (Zoloft) and paroxetine (Paxil) for treating PTSD. These are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that help regulate the neurotransmitters in the brain related to fear and anxiety. Other medications like venlafaxine may also be prescribed, although they are not specifically licensed for PTSD.

It's a matter of conscience and responsibility on my part to add to the above post, before anyone diagnosed with PTSD (God bless and lead you to healing), consider that drug reference.

Research those medications and especially their side effects.

Hey, I had walking pneumonia for almost a year many years ago, and I was misdiagnosed with depression and I was prescribed an SSRI. By the time the doctors figured out what I had (I had stopped taking the SSRI, and went cold turkey). I was never really a drug person, but I was not informed at the time either (this was almost 20 years ago). Well it WAS HELL to get off that. I ended up doing an internet search back then (when there was no internet censorship like there is today) and thousands and thousands of people were saying the same. And I had to figure out how to do this on my own (which I eventually did) because the side effects were horrendous. And the only thing the doctor said (in the days when I actually went to them and trusted them) was it was all in my head and I shouldnt believe everything I hear on the internet.

Because really, when you are going through something like that you might begin looking for your own symptoms (as they might be found) in others experiences with the same thing (and I was finding it). It certainly wasnt normal in my own experience, and was not just in my head as the doctor said (or all the others heads). And I wasnt looking for "trouble" but I was "in trouble" and doctors were both the initial cause of it and useless after the fact. So I do have a bias against doctors because of that and for a few other life experience type reasons.

Back then I would just take what was precribed me without asking any questions. So I guess you could say that maybe the experience was a little needful, without it (and others) I might have still had a little trust left in it. but after that I aint sticking anything from big pharma in me unless I am dying and in lingering on mode and would like a morphine coctail on my way out. Hoping I wont even desire that stuff, that I could just get hit by a bus or something and move on from here hlf

Take a read here and see what I mean
It is one thing to do things to yourself, and another to do things to other people because of your sake, which is what she did. She was cruel and selfish in her aid.


Acts 10:38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

She is no saint nor Christ like. Christ healed people and made them well body and soul
Well, that is surprising, assassinating the character and ministry of Mother Teresa. I'm not a Catholic, but I do believe they are our brothers and sisters in Christ. There is this ugly division within the body of Christ, attacks and hatred between Prktes r ants and Catholics - a war that has to stop.
You'll be surprised when you see the thousands of those kids she cared for in heaven with her!

Mother Teresa was no saint.

She was vile and sadistic. Do the research.

The patients suffering cancer and excruciating pain lay beneath thread bare sheets on hard mattresses not even qualified to be called a true mattress.
They starved,thirsted,and suffered pain without constant medications to relieve their suffering.

Why?

Because Teresa said their suffering was nothing compared to that of our Lord. And if he could take it,they should be grateful.

That was a woman who was exorcized multiple times.

The suffering of Calcutta are blessed now that she's dead.

Only if the sisters she commanded were not so beat down as to have abandoned their human conscience so as now to treat the cancer patients with respect. We can only hope Teresa's sick mind and behaviors didn't irrevocably mutate the nuns under her.

If anyone is idolised by the MSM, you can be sure it's all mainly full of BS !

Was it her works that they Idolise ?

Dud she save anyones Soul ? creat any Saints ?

I had a mate for years who was a full on athiest moron, now he has become a religious moronic idiot clown, Idolises the Buddah ? a more modern pathetic BS type of that as well as the dali lama ? and a load of childish so call christian new age full on stupid BS ! Just totaly worldly stupid fool nonsense ! and Idolises the Human rights Mobs ?

I pointed out to him that such Mob's have nothing to do with Human rights at all in fact, it's all a load of Political Correct gods that they are playing at and of this world !

Jesus was about Human rights in fact, from the very foundations of what such truly is all about one could say.
If one does not understand the Issue of Christ Jesus, then one is Lost in fact and they do the bidding of this world, it does not come from God ! but is only a mans works. Their is no solid foundation to work from regarding any of mans works in fact ! it's all BS that is full of deceptions and delusions in fact !

If I see some athiest looking up to anything, mainly I am not suprised ! because they are under a delusion in fact, for they have a shallow short sighted view on the subject !

Another religious fool I know was telling me about a magic trick he seen performed on TV, he truly believed it was magic ! I said it's just a trick you clown ! yes I seen it on TV too.

I get simpltons come up to me and say you Christians believe in the supernatural ? well to them what they mean by supernatural is just total nonsense BS ! So I say no we don't ! because they are of with the pixies on the issue ! One claimed that he was in Asia and seen such being idolised, so Christianity was on the same path. No ! it's not at all in regard such stupid Idols in fact ! and do not demand that it is sport ! because it's not like that at all in fact.

Buddhism is absurd.
Sidartha,aka the Buddha,was a morning obese Indian prince!
He apparently lost family members to sickness and then death. He couldn't handle it.

So,he went out to see if he could meditate and find answers. He sat beneath the Bodhi tree for a very long time. Days,weeks? I forget.

Anyway, when he had finished he awakened to a higher consciousness that gave him those answers.

Why did people sicken and die?
It is an illusion. All life is suffering!

If it is all an illusion? Then do too is the suffering.

Meanwhile the Dahli Llama, said to be Sudartha reincarnated, lives in a gold and marble palace in Tibet. Where he was exiled to after leading armed Buddhist monks in a failed revolution against the Chinese government.

He wears pure silk robes seen with real gold gold thread.

The majority of local faithful are starving. But they make a step at a time,then get on their knees and bow toward Tibet, wherever they are on that continent, until they finally arrive at the base of the mountain where his palace is. And they bring gifts.

He gives them nothing but his blessing in return.

Step,bow,step,bow. Some take weeks to arrive during this special date for that pilgrimage.

And it is alllllll,per Buddha, an illusion.

Humans will fall for anything.

Much of the money raised to care for the Indian people went back to the Vatican and stayed there, not doing India much good.

Sounds like "fake news" generated by anti-Catholics. Like today, Trump was likened to Hitler and the Dems warned us that he would be the most dangerous president. Hitler was responsible for much of WW2 that resulted in 70 millions deaths. What a warped comparison between two people. The truth is the Democrat leaders are the most destructive and lying Americans ( if you can call them Americans).Two perspectives, only one truth. People choose to believe what they want.

This is more of the story I remember about Mother Teresa:

I once watched a show back in 1979 called Monkey Magic.
Love that show ! Pointed it out to mates of mine back then and most were to racist to watch a Asian show.
But I seen the whole edition came out in CD and bought that, to show my nippers and they loved it ! and that got them into Judo.
But the Shows were all about a message in fact ! and you had to use your brain to figure it all out, so I would ask my bubs what was the issues all in regard of ! they learnt from such truths !

But then as the years went by a New type of Monkey Magic came out and it was total 3rd rate rubbish and evil stupid

Millions gave charitable contributions to her " Missionaries of Charities" foundation. So? That was to be given to the poor. She lived in poverty.

I think the people who gave wanted it to be given to the India poor people, not to be put into the Vatican bank.
The point is, it wasn't her money to control and disburse, The Vatican does and we do not know how much or where monies went. We do know that for hundreds of years, missions, hospitals, orphanages and the gospel has been supported richly by the Catholic Church.
If we were to examine your love towards others next to Mother Teresa's ... who do you think would get more rewards in heaven?

OK. This is true.
But BILLIONS have disappeared and no one knows where the money went.

If I do 3 things right...
am I allowed to do 1 criminal thing?

Just wondering....

Don't protect the CC Ronald...it's a mess.

PEPPER!
Have you ever read any books by Mother Teresa?
I mean, like her biography for instance?
Why would you say she was possessed?
I don't think so!
There was an order established because of her.
The Vatican didn't want her to have her own order...
she fought to have it to help those poor souls in India.
They were sick, hungry, living in the street.

What makes you think she was possessed?
I don't want to derail this thead..just a simple question.

Her undergoing multiple exorcisms.

When asked if she lived during the time when the church committed to the Inquisition,murdering Christians,Pagans,etc.... would she agree with the church burning people alive,torturing them near to death?


Her answer?
Yes.

Look on YouTube. Plenty of records there.
