[quote=Anonymous]Yes, recommend a medication consult along with trauma focused therapy. You may need short acting antianxiety meds while longer term meds take time to work. PE, CPT and EMDR have the best outcomes. All of them focus on safely working through the memories of the trauma and retraining the mind in how we remember. Your examples are clearly PTSD. I will also note that not everyone experiences PTSD, and in part it seems to be related to the circumstances you were in around the trauma (eg, were you distressed beforehand, did you get told afterwards that it wasn't a big deal). I recommend VA resources, as they have the best, most accessible sources of information. Not a veteran myself but was assaulted as a young adult and found power in knowledge. https://www.ptsd.va.gov/professional/treat/txessentials/overview_therapy.asp [/quote]
