I'm on depekote. I was seeing another therapist that specializes in EMDR. Now that I am working im thinking of going back and seeing two therapists. One has medicaid and I can use the other one to help treat
I previously had propanolol. Some like it for anxiety, but it caused me to have insomnia.

Next, I’ve been in therapy, because changing your thought processes and working on issues is going to help.

I’m going to try EMDR therapy next for Complex PTSD.
I recently got a job. Im.on Depekote and I don't think it's helping. It's interfering with sleep. I have a therapist that takes medicaid but I'm thinking of going back to my old therapist because he specializes in EMDR as well. They are private owned so it might help.
