I’ve been seeing the same therapist for the last decade – she is great but I’m finding it’s probably not helping my PTSD much. Since the assault I have moved on in leaps and bounds, but I don’t ever allow myself to think of it. When I do my anxiety creeps up and I can’t even breathe. But I know the problem is still there (I’m fairly certain it always will be) as I keep having vivid nightmares about it/him which then set off my anxiety anyway. I’m getting pretty tired of it and it’s turning me into a paranoid wreck.
I’m trying to find a trauma specialist in London/Greater London but I would much rather engage someone through recommendations than just taking a chance on someone I have Googled. If anyone has someone they can refer to me who has helped them, please drop me a DM. I would be so grateful!
