<font color="blue"> Hi emerging! I was disabled in an industrial accident over 19 years ago. Because of the severity of the trauma, the delay in receiving medical attention, and the attitude of those working the system "against" me... it has been a constant process for me.

I am in psychotherapy for all of those years, going from 1x a week to 2x to 3x now for many, many years.

How quickly someone gets help for a trauma has been shown to have better results for regaining normalcy in life. There is no "cure" for PTSD, though.
You can heal to where it no longer intrudes into your daily life.

The process cannot be rushed. The mind/brain requires whatever time it requires to properly refile the trauma memories. You can learn all the right things to think, the things to say, but until the brain clicks... you know what I mean?

It's a path of healing where the question "how long" has no place. As my T's partner told me, what difference does it make how long it takes, as long as (you know) you are on the right path?

TC. PTSD is quite a beast, for sure.
