@cassie_mccarthy_therapy: PTSD recovery is real, for complex PTSD too: both are fully treatable, with long-term recovery. Right now, three therapies have been proven effective for trauma: Cognitive Processing Therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and Prolonged Exposure. All three relieve the symptoms of PTSD and complex PTSD with similar results. And we know they do that because your therapist tracks your symptoms with standardized assessment tools the whole way through, so you can both watch you get better as time goes on. By the end of Cognitive Processing Therapy or Prolonged Exposure, it's highly likely your symptoms are below the PTSD threshold. And when your scores get low enough, you're likely to keep that recovery for life. Save this if you've been wondering whether complex PTSD ever really lifts.

Knockout86 :

As one that suffers, I laughed so hard, did not work

Kate :

I feel art therapy with using the Mandala out-performs all of the others that you have mentioned. Most therapist are clueless on how to introduce the mandala and its healing properties to their clients.

Ken Beer :

CPT doesn’t work if you’re alexithymic

Tortured Souls :

Why didn't EMDR work for me? I felt like I was in fight or flight all the time, never safe, even after 1 year of cognitive therapy.

ann :

How often should therapist give you the screening?

ArrowHeart4 :

I need a trauma therapist that’s been through similar trauma.

KSASS :

How about somatic therapy?

Pumpkin Jedi :

TMS works wonders. it's like EMDR on steroids

ChristineMcGovern :

Forgiveness of others and yourself is the most effective way. You need to release the trapped emotions attached to the trauma.

namelessintheusa :

Until they terminate you for not progressing fast enough.

lilwolfdendarlin :

only if you can get therapy

Melissa :

Is this evidence-based testing? Because it didn't work for me made everything way worse. I had si attempts from doing e d m r.

Bwocklin :

that's all good and said and done but if you can't afford therapy you're on your own because without money you just have to deal with it that's just the way it is right the ones who have get cure the ones who don't have get dealt with the American way
