I'm reading Peter Levine at the moment, and he seems to suggest that catharsis is unimportant in terms of healing from PTSD. I feel like catharsis is what's going to get me to being able to sleep through the night, hopefully without going to the doctor's.

Isn't he the waking the tiger guy? If so, it seems to me that what he says is necessary for healing--going from immobile/frozen to mobile/empowered --is not unlike catharsis. Does he specifically say it's not?
To answer your poll, I usually take what's useful and leave the rest.
