How did your brother react? How does he cope?

I hope you don't mind me asking, are you and your brother able to talk about your experience or do you two try not to bring it up?

I'm really sorry that you and your brother had to go through that. I wish you the best.

Have you considered seeing someone together?

Maybe you can tell him that you need him to be the 'strong one' in the session with you, you know? Tell him that you need his support. Maybe he will open up in the session.

Even if he doesn't open up, maybe it will help him emotionally to fulfill the role of a supportive sibling.

Thank you for being so candid, I really hope your treatment is going well. Has your brother exhibited any signs of depression? How is he coping? Is he seeing any type of psychiatric professional or undergoing any treatment?

Again, I wish you the best. You have your whole life ahead of you.

That's too bad. I am glad that you are able to receive treatment and I wish you nothing but the best.

I'm by no means an expert, in my previous suggestion I was just trying to say that maybe you can 'ease' him into therapy by telling him that you want him to be there with you.

That way he can feel like he is supporting you and he won't necessarily feel intimidated about having to "open up." Even if it doesn't work, maybe you guys will be brought closer together.

Talk to your therapist! Maybe they can suggest a colleague that specializes in some sort of group therapy for PTSD, grieving, etc.

Again, thanks for being so candid, I wish you the best.
