It is like buying a big *** smile on your face when you are so down. It does not work. Run like the wind if they decide to do exposure therapy on those with complex PTSD.

With all due respect, CBT can be helpful for working with PTSD. It certainly helped me and it does work with the feelings themselves. No, it isn't for everyone, but blanket statements that a type of therapy is a "fail" in general for treatment for anyone with certain diagnoses is going a bit far. You can only speak for yourself.
