I have complex trauma. Which is actually (for me) PTSD, DDNOS, and BPD.
I'm working with a trauma specalist which I think would be a good option for you. He has many approaches.. experiential humanistic, psychodynamic, some cbt. He does hypnosis, ego state therapy, grounding, mindfulness, EFT, EMDR, some DBT stuff, dream analysis, and other fancy stuff that helps me process the trauma, manage my emotions that come in regards to trauma, and to establish safety. Also a lot of focus is on the relationship.
I found, in the past that just talking about it doesn't really help. It wound me up and I left feeling very bad. Although talking does help, it needs to be in a controlled way (for me). It needs to be contained.
I need a therapist to be somewhat directive and usually trauma specialists are, so the client doesn't get re-traumatized by going too fast, ect.
