March 28, 2011

I caught wind of this on SFGate today. I don’t know how well it works, but for those of you suffering from PTSD, it might be worth checking out. Single sessions are only $20, with a 3-session plan for $35. That’s a lot less than an EMDR session with a psychotherapist, though keep in mind [...]

Occasionally I discover new survivor sites and blogs, and I often forget to let people know. They go straight into my links or onto my blogroll, with nary a word from me. I shall try to rectify this somewhat by telling you about a few of my recent discoveries. Askios Survivors has a list of [...]
