Flashbacks are getting worse
I was hijacked 2 years ago. The flashbacks are getting worse, not better. Every time I get in a car I panic. Can't drive anymore. My therapist says it takes time but I'm losing hope. Has anyone recovered from severe PTSD? How long did it take?
How I healed from violent crime trauma
I was assaulted in Kimberley 3 years ago. Developed severe PTSD. Tried medication (numbed me), therapy (helped a bit), but flashbacks continued. What finally worked: Dianetics auditing. It helped me process the trauma fully rather than just managing symptoms. Took 6 months but I'm finally free of flashbacks. If you're stuck in PTSD, don't give up. There are approaches that actually resolve trauma, not just manage it.
Childhood trauma resurfacing
I'm 35 and suddenly memories from childhood abuse are flooding back. I thought I'd dealt with this years ago but apparently not. How do you process trauma that happened decades ago? Therapy feels like just talking about it over and over with no resolution.
