Lately T has been really pushing CBT and we have started working on it. My Ptsd was triggered and I can't get it put of my head. She said that when I am triggered O immediately need to use CBT so it won't get me down. Has anybody been able to stop the reactions to triggers by changing what you are doing/thoughts after a trigger?

My T and I use trauma focussed CBT ( that this is different , not faulty thinking ) and DBT skills. But I tend to use breathing techniques to get the physiological reaction down. How can you reframe the brains alarm bells are going off ? I don't think I've succeed with that , and I don't feel CBT is very effective with trauma , at least not the way it's pushed in the UK.

I can't figure out how to prevent the flashbacks, headaches and nightmares.

I know you didn't have a great experience with the EMDR T but I found it helps enormously with that.

My pdoc has somebody she will be referring me to who specializes in EMDR. T recently went to a conference where there was a lot of talk about EMDR so she is really on board.
