A book I found that is helping me is called: Yoga For Emotional Trauma by Mary NurrieStearns and Rick NurrieStearns

Is it a cure? I can't sell that. Does it seem to help? I think it's helping me. I'm also experimenting with essential oils for aromatherapy and working with crystals and gemstones. They say the crystals probably have a placebo effect, and shouldn't replace treatment or seeing a doctor. They certainly make me smile and feel happier. A lot of mine are simply pretty to look at, and that alone makes me smile. I guess you could say it's color therapy too.

Another technique that is helping me is keeping a gratitude journal. It's made me realize, despite things that happened throughout my life, abuse, and trauma, there are still things to be thankful for and life can still be good and hold positives. I don't know what will work for you, but it doesn't hurt to experiment safely and try new things in addition to seeing a therapist and taking medications.
