I have ptsd with dissociation. I am a professional who is very good at my job. I thankfully am no longer a trainwreck. but I have been. it has taken years to get better. many times I haven't been able to function due to my anxiety. I had to drop out of grad school last year it was so bad. if I get bad, my boss just sends me home from work and tells me to take some time off. this hasn't happened for a couple years thank god. I did leave in the middle of the day a couple months ago when I was triggered and had an emergency session with T.
I found the most important thing was having a therapist that specializes in trauma. I wasted three years with the wrong T,. he avoided my trauma like the plague. this just created so much anxiety for me it was hard for me to function. I started with this trauma t this year and with hypnosis and working with my dissociative parts my anxiety has vastly improved. I cant believe how much better things are. I have different coping skills to deal with my anxiety.
things do get better.
