" We have, strong electrolytes and weak electrolytes, " Mr Garret voice faded away. Ace's thoughts invaded his mind in the middle of the class, he looked out of the windows, he's always looking out of the window. Mr Garret got tired of scolding him to pay attention to the lessons, he would always ask him suddenly but Ace already knows what they are talking about, he's smarter than most of the students in his class. Ace always does that in winter, staring out the window and wait for spring, he hates winter and hates the end of the year.

Millie POV. As the weeks passed by I had brought Brian's meals again and again. And each time I would, he would wanna talk to me like as if he was dying for some human companionship. I wouldn't blame him, it must be incredibly lonely here in an asylum with no friends, no one to really talk to. I had to admit at most times I enjoyed our little chats but I still didn't feel safe with him at all. I was instructed that every day for one hour I would be alone with Brian and chat and try to get inside his mind sort of speak. I told the doctor that I was not a cop or an FBI agent and refused to to do this but was ordered to. I felt that I had no choice so day after day I would have to sit there an

Zayd said. "Yes, Mee too." I answered. "When I was 10, I started treating this awful illness by combination of cognitive behavioral therapy (which consists of relaxation training, changing the ways you think [cognitive restructuring] and coping skills training) and other medications. That was why I couldn't visit Nigeria even when I wanted to." "It's also called IED, well, may people are affected by this in America." "But...I don't understand, Madinah How did you get affected."

It's okay," James cooed as he came to me and held my hands. I hadn't realized I was rocking back and forth, nor did I realize I was crying until he caught my tears with his thumb. "It's okay, baby. I didn't know. I didn't know you had witnessed that. Your phobia is overly justified, don't ever think it's irrelevant. If I witnessed something like that I'd have PTSD, are you sure it's just phobia? No PTSD laced?" "No, no PTSD. I saw a therapist for a few days in LA. He used the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy."

End. A sob rips itself from my throat, my chest so tight it feels like it’s caving in on itself. I’m so angry and hurt and downright miserable. I can’t stop thinking about the future. I can’t stop thinking about us. I can’t stop, I can’t stop, I can’t stop!

“These therapies are designed to help you process traumatic memories and reshape the harmful thought patterns tied to them. Over time, they should significantly reduce your anxiety, panic responses, and emotional distress.” I pause, watching her carefully before breaking it down. “The first therapy, CPT, will help you identify and challenge the unhelpful beliefs you’ve developed about your trauma—beliefs about blame, guilt, safety, and control. We’ll work toward replacing those with healthier, more realistic ones.” She nods faintly. “The second therapy, Prolonged Exposure, will help you gradually and safely confront memories, emotions, and situations you’ve been avoiding. Avoidance keeps the

Rebecca Rebecca worked without interruption for a few hours, a small sound of reminder coming from her computer right before lunch. She was meeting with a client for an introductory consultation and then getting on a call on her way back from work with the new contractor that was coming out to inspect the work on her new house. She’d fired the last one a few weeks back, not able to put up with their sliding fees and jacked up timetable. Moving into the house was important to her, but not so much so that she was willing to give up quality or extra dollars.

He asks. "Terrible. I can't touch my own boyfriends without feeling like I'll throw up," I reply angrily. "Calm down, that's to be expected. Your body went through extreme trauma that you're reminded of everyday with pain from your injuries. It's called Haphephobia, it's an anxiety disorder characterized by a fear of being touched. It's possible to recover from it. Either with CBT, or gradual exposure." "CBT?" I ask quickly. I know this acronym as Cock and Ball Torture, and Orion seems to know what I'm thinking because he blushes lightly and stumbles to correct me.

I moved on. That's not to say that I have healed though. Years of therapy work, yoga, and mindfulness haven't soothed the scar on my heart. "How do you feel now, Camille? Have you worked on the cognitive behavioral therapy techniques we spoke about?" Dr. Abott's gentle voice roused me from my own runaway thoughts at another one of our weekly sessions. She was older, experienced, and so gentle. "Yes." I lied and then paused, "Actually, I only did it a few times. I wrote down the trigger and worked through it but...it only made me angrier."

“Because in a completely crazy and totally inexplicable way, I find it easier to handle not drinking alcohol if I’m around it all the time.” She cocked her head. “Say what?” “I know, right?” That teasing, sexy grin was back on his face now, and she relaxed a bit, feeling like she knew Aidan again. “It’s a kind of… exposure therapy, I guess.” Gabi was puzzled. “What’s that?” “It’s typically used to treat fears and phobias, actually. The whole idea is that if someone is around the thing that they fear the most in a safe and controlled setting, then they’ll gradually be able to change their reaction to the thing.”
