It is the seeming lack of choice that vexes me. I have very severe PTSD. While I find therapy terribly painful, the alternative (to simply live with the flashbacks and disabling symptoms) is equally unpleasant. Trapped between a rock and a hard place, I choose to do therapy because that choice offers hope. But still there is the dread that all is for naught and that hope is false.
