The problem is you're not seeing a therapist every week. I don't know if you're on any psych meds? I think c-PTSD is like a PD and requires years of therapy however there are people who strongly disagree a PD requires years of therapy to overcome. I remember the first year after my divorce I tried to do it on my own without medication and then I finally asked for help. Then it took me two attempts to do Dbt before the 3rd one finally clicked. Even today I'm struggling with new issues in therapy with a different therapist.
I know other vets with PTSD and one incident that happened to them 10 years has changed them irrevocably. Sleep meds don't work.
I think we all have to find something that helps us to move forward. I don't know if that's useful or not.
