I'm interested in knowing which kind of treatment works best for those struggling with C-PTSD.
Specially when the trauma is caused by repeated psychological abuse and neglect in childhood.
I've tried different therapy modalities and medication, but I always end up getting stuck and going backwards.
I feel like I can't function like a "normal" person. I always end up sabotaging relationships, jobs, etc.
I'm self-destructive and I get easily overwhelmed by simple tasks.
I've had a few bad experiences in therapy due to the lack of knowledge/"validity" of C-PTSD.
I've gotten diagnoses like major depression, GAD, panic disorder and eating disorders in the past; but I belive these are all symptons/ consequences of a childhood trauma that has somehow shaped my personality.
I have a very hard time trusting people, which doesn't help in therapy either. I've had some therapists get frustrated with me in the past, and this makes me feel like I'm a lost cause; or like it's all my fault and I'll never get better.
I feel hopeless and desperate. I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life.
It's very painful because no matter how hard I try to get better, I always end up messing up and getting back to the starting point.
Which kind of treatment do you think works best for C-PTSD symptoms?
I'm interested in anything; from different therapy modalities, to activities, medication, or whatever.
Also, do you think it's actually possible to "heal" from this? I feel like even if some things could get better, I'll always be limited to some extent compared to other people... [emoji53]
