Hi Geez, I'm sorry you have a similar story. :/ Also for the belated reply, haven't been posting on much on PC lately.

No, my therapist doesn't specialize in PTSD. I'm not sure what C-PTSD is.

At our appointment last week I asked her if she thought I had PTSD. She said she wouldn't be surprised, but later said that some 80% of people have suffered trauma. I knew what she meant because no one gets through life without some trauma, but I meant the kind that is just unrelenting and can be overwhelming.

She prefers to focus on what and how I can change ingrained patterns and such, and is pretty good I think, but I have wondered before if a specialist in PTSD might help.

Then again, I have read that PTSD can be very hard to overcome, so I've also wondered if just a good all-around therapist like mine would suffice.
