I usually post in Personality Place. I believe that PD’s are “curable”. I believe that mine is . . . close to being cured. I’ve been diagnosed with PDNOS and DDNOS. My trauma specialist therapist said that she would have diagnosed me with C-PTSD if it had been available in the DSM at the time.

So . . . in my experience, having re-experienced and connected with the traumatic emotions which had been disconnected/dissociated . . . it’s really, really painful and I’m not sure that I would have proceeded if I had known how horrible it would be but what were my options?. . . and I think and feel like I’m getting OK now. I’m 67, been in and out of therapy for 50 years, glad there are some trauma therapists now who know what to do to “fix” things (sometimes).

(((Teacake))) I don’t usually do hugs. But I hear you . . .
