Ok, slow down with this, you are in charge of "your home and your life and the right to make decisions". Take some calm deep breaths, slowly in hold, slowly out. It is perfectly fine that you need "your space" right now and your family is going to have to respect that from now on, so you have be firm with your sister and tell her that you appreciate they are thinking of you, however, you are not going to have visitors this summer and be honest, you can even tell her that your therapist has decided that is not a good idea for you right now. Honestly, I would be frank with your family and tell them you have PTSD, don't worry about them, tell them to go and read about it too, you need space right now.

What I find also helps is when I brought my husband into see my therapist and my therapist spoke to him and explained it to him and that he needs to allow me space while I work on it in therapy for a while.

It is important that "you" feel safe and can take your time and work through this with your therapist. You were just diagnosed this past December, you really have not have very much time in therapy with this, it definitely takes time to work through and you need space and low stress and your family is just going to have to learn to understand this. Hey, they can research it online and read about how they can best support you.
