don't feel bad about recommending repression, I have used that 'coping skill' many times. and quite honestly it really does work for me for significant amounts of time. I totally agree that dredging up the past can make symptoms significantly worse. what helped me the most with therapy was coping skills. it's interesting that my pdoc (who does therapy also) believes in bringing up the past and dealing with it and my therapist does not (she's more into coping skills). I don't know what the current thinking is with PTSD, but there sure seems like there are a lot of different treatments.
take care, judy
