I have suffered from some horrific child abuse and year and half ago I got PTSD due to my mother trying to contact me again and she was trying to secretly see my kids at the mall where she worked as a security guard ( I didn't know she was a guard). She forged my signature and signed my kids up for this mall kids club hoping we would come there. She has threatened to abduct my kids before, so it totally freaked me out.
Well anyways I entered therapy for the first time 1 1/2 years ago, and my T specializes in trama and he is certified in EMDR. After one session of that along with talk therapy, I am cured from it. Does my mom freak me out? Yes, but even my T says she is one scary ******! So there is light at the end of the tunnel. Not only has my PTSD been cured, but I am doing better than before it all happened. So don't up, keep trying, things can get better.
