It sounds like what has made the biggest difference is accepting the parts of the PTSD that you can't change, and finding ways to cope with them (like finding ways to feel safe after a nightmare).

I agree with you that insight into how we feel, and why, makes a HUGE difference.
I also noticed that being able to identify feelings is a good way to see how you're doing. For the longest time I didn't realize how "flat" I was. Emotional numbing happens with PTSD...

The other day I actually caught myself saying "I feel sad". I think that's a good sign.
