Current research and studies all agree that the only consistent & effective treatments for C-PTSD are medication and therapies that go beyond talk therapy. Therapies like EMDR, Neurofeedback and ECT.

Bessel VanDer Kolk, as far as I'm concerned, is the leading expert on C-PTSD offers interesting explainations in his work as to why talk therapy doesn't provide much relief for flashbacks and nightmares.

I've had 30 years of talk therapy, every medication available, ECT, rTMS, Ketamine and other therapies (I'm not a candidate for EMDR) and all had failed to offer any improvement for my symptoms of C-PTSD.

However, when I tried Neurofeedback 2-years ago for anxiety I was AMAZED that my nightmares completely stopped. After 30-years of consistent, real and terrifying nightmares as well as profound flashbacks that I thought would be with me forever... GONE! I have not had even one nightmare since!

I really hope others who suffer like I have, will have access to effective treatment like Neurofeedback- I don't know for sure but if I had found this treatment sooner, I may have avoided being on Benzodiazapines for the last 12-years which has, I believe, damaged my brain chemistry and worsened my depression.
