While there are some who are no longer bothered with their PTSD, or didn't have a complex case of it and early therapy helped, there really is no cure for PTSD as of yet.

Finding a psychologist who is trained, and has experience in how to manage PTSD is essential, imo. (meaning not someone just out of school)

You can find a life. The longer one waits for therapy though, often means it's a longer road to getting worthwhile.

Trauma changes us. Therapy helps us find someone we like again, and hopefully someone who is a better person even with the PTSD.



I would not really sound encouraging to you, as I am now in my 22nd year dealing with a traumatic injury that disabled me. Unfortunately for me, it can't be "done with" and my physical limitations keep it before me. I still go to physical therapy 3x a week! If I miss pain and stress management therapy, I digress. But in many ways, I am a better person. You can't go home again. You can't do what ifs. TC
