Ah, okay, C-PTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), not "regular" PTSD. Either way, they are equally rotten to deal with.
I thought (who knows why) that you began therapy within the first year of realizing that something was wrong and sought a therapist. I don't know why I assumed that.
What's available in NZ therapist-wise? Are you seeing a psychologist or is it a psychiatrist (or neither)? I would like to think that you would have more available to you than what is being offered. The way it's going now, my guess is that with 8-9 months of therapy, it's not hard to see why you aren't feeling like you are getting far. You might not even be able to build up a rapport with your T, considering that his time is limited. CPTSD is hard enough to unravel with frequent therapy visits, but yours seems not frequent enough.
What can we do to get you into someone more frequently?
Do you like your current one, and would you change therapists if it meant more face-time?
