Hi all,

I'm kind of new to PTSD as a diagnosis rather than just "the way I react to stuff sometimes" so I apologise in advance for any faux pas.

My question is this - can therapy actually make me worse?

Since starting therapy and delving in to certain material I have experienced anxiety, which became panic disorder and panic attacks which are now fairly intense. I recently reached a place with T where I revealed some pretty heinous historical events and if anything I am now even worse. Think insomnia/nightmares, shaking, flashbacks, dissociation, more panic attacks etc.

Will this work through or should I quit before it gets worse?

Any advice gratefully received

BTC.
