Such intense therapy is going to bring out the worst of PTSD, and it will also give you equal support from the rest of the team. Hopefully, you will receive all that support and be able to accept it.

Delving back into trauma can be traumatic in itself. It isn't for everyone.

The one main "mantra" I would wish you to keep at the ready and tell yourself OFTEN is that you are feeling this way, or acting this way, or unable to function right now or... whatever you find distresses you... that you tell yourself (and others) "this is because of the PTSD. The PTSD is causing this." It isn't you, it's the PTSD.
