It sure does help to have a T trained in working with PTSD/trauma based disorders...

...yes, it does "come back" because it never truly goes away. There is no cure, presently, for PTSD.

Most all PTSD is treated basically the same way, whether the trauma was war or sexual... the basics stay the same.

Since the work is done so slowly, if you connect with a good T, have a history and trust a current T who might not be specially trained, if T wants to learn as you go (and study ahead of time and try to stay ahead of the treatment) it's possible, I think. The main thing is to take your time. The brain, you, all know what the issues are...and the mind/brain will decide the pace. It's important that if you do begin to have physical reactions to therapy that it slows back down.... it does no good to drag things out of you.

Be well.
