Ok, I understand, depending on each person's background, what might work for one person my not be the same for another. I am not dancing around in complete "victory" myself, there is no "quick" fix for PTSD, it really takes time and patience.
I have some areas that are deep seeded challenges too and I still have to try to be patient and there are some things that are never going to change, so I have had to work around them. I can be sound asleep and my husband closes a door and I always jump and react. I don't think I am ever going to get rid of that startle response, I have tried to slam doors and have my T slam doors and my husband slam doors, and I still have the problem so I understand. There too many doors in my childhood where I was in extreme fear.

Another book you may want to try reading is Judith Herman's "Trama and Recovery" as well.
