Hi sparta and Welcome!

I'm also glad for you that you've found a good T. and if going without meds works for you-- I think that is awesome. You won't ever have to worry about side-effects. My former T.-- a psychologist, has very similar thinking as yours.

I relate to "Chronic PTSD" , and I do hope for you that you will get help from your pain.

here's a website with articles about different struggles due to PTSD--- I frequent it, as it has so much of me in the articles-- helps me to understand myself better. -- when you get to the homepage-- click on "articles".... hope you find it helpful.
