[quote=Anonymous]Learning (and ultimately accepting) that there is no "cure" for PTSD/CPTSD helped me immensely. Talk therapy can exacerbate your pain because you are forced to relive your trauma. Approaching therapy from a behavioral perspective in which your goal is to find coping mechanisms to improve your daily life (like tactics on how to deal with intrusive thoughts or reduce hypervigilance) rather than simply "healing" or "getting better" could be beneficial. Most trauma sufferers I know agree that we don't ever truly heal...we live with this and carry it throughout our lives. But we can choose not to suffer daily, and affect our families and friends (the ones we chose, in the life we built - where trauma no longer lives). I second the PP's recs for EMDR.[/quote]
