Ooh, I have the urge to move when things get bad, too. It's always a nice fantasy. I know from experience, though, that wherever you go--there you (and the PTSD symptoms) are.

I think therapy for cPTSD often walks the line between teaching you to manage the symptoms themselves, which are so disruptive, and processing the memories that trigger the difficult symptoms. What are you working on in T that is making things harder right now?Or is it the reduced sessions that are the difficulty?

You shouldn't "just get over it." You can, however, work through it with your T, and things can get better. Can you go into T next week and explain how frustrated and hopeless you're feeling? Then you and your T can reshape your treatment plan.
