I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 19, this person is only one of many in the bigger picture. The therapist I mentioned is still my same therapist, I first started seeing her for nightmares when I was 10 or 11 (before my mothers boyfriend came along), so I've seen her for over a decade. I don't see her so much now though, I haven't been there for months after an incident on another forum upset me so much that I stopped going.
She is far away for me, I would have to catch 3 buses to get there. I used to get my grandparents to take me but I have been 'taking a break' from most of my family for the last few weeks.
