I have complex PTSD and am in EMDR therapy. It is difficult but it is helping. I was being treated increase dosages of antidepressants which really didn't improve things much. Currently, I am in antidepressants, Xanax for panic attacks, Vyvanse for my ADHD, Vyacog for memory issues and just started Prazosin, which is supposed to help calm down the incessant nightmares that I have been having. Last night was the first night and I got 4+ hours of sleep with no recall of any carnage dreams- only 2 pleasant ones.

Read Fran Shapiro's book "EMDR", it is very informative about the process. You don't have to be traumatized.
