Lapis, I believe it depends upon the severity of the PTSD. I won't question your reality, ok, just going to post some thoughts so you can work on where you were, and are ok?

Were you dx'd with PTSD by a specialist? How long after your trauma did you receive help/therapy with an expert in trauma? How "real" or "reactive" were your sessions in talking about/out the event/s that caused the PTSD?

That you cannot recall might still be a coping mechanism. You might not be ready to remember, or you might not need to remember.

Complex PTSD never goes away... PTSD can be quelched quite a bit so that the triggering subsides substantially even to the point where it's not an issue in day to day living.

You don't have to share anything, anywhere you don't wish to... remember that!

Again, good to have you here.
