I've had good and bad therapists before. My psychiatrist and I agree the best therapy for me is CBT. My current T knows all kinds of different techniques including CBT, I read somewhere PTSD sufferers with the best chance of recovery do a combination of meds and therapy. To get the most out of therapy I think we should also be doing exercise and eating a well balanced diet. You want to eat more foods containing tryptophan and tyrosine as these two amino acids are very important to our diets. Most of our serotonin receptors are in our guts, when we eat a balanced diet we get all the tryptophan and tyrosine we need, so our brain can produce most of the serotonin and dopamine it needs. Today I ate a pretty good balance of fruits, grains and proteins. I definitely could've ate more veggies but I'm all out of salad.

I also find that avoiding drugs, alcohol and stimulants keeps me from getting too stressed out and cranky. When I'm stressed I get physical pains in my body that have lead to panic attacks before, as I thought I was for sure dying of some horrible disease. I didn't even go to a therapist for help first, I went to the hospital, at the hospital doctors and nurses recommended I seek help from a mental health professional because they did all kinds of expensive scans, tests and questions but couldn't find out what was wrong with me.
