    What to expect with CPT?

    I asked my new therapist for a formal evaluation to make sure what I'm experiencing is PTSD, and if it is she specializes in CPT. Anyone here have experience with this? She (new t) said it's pretty brutal and I prob won't like her very much some days lol. But anything is better than what I...

    Helped my girlfriend leave her abusive ex and all I got was this lousy ptsd

    I think the thread title pretty much sums it up, but things are ROUGH right now. Gf has C-PTSD and has been highly symptomatic and disregulated for weeks. She says that I'm a different person and that she doesn't like who I am now compared with when we were "just friends". We're not speaking...

    Questions for sufferers who dissociate....

    My gf has been in and out (mostly in, I think) a dissociative state for a month now. Are there ways anyone has found to "snap back" to yourself and stay put, or does it just take time?

    Relationship SO has dissociated and the part of her that is doing the driving right now has her abusive ex staying in our house. What do I do???

    So, my SO was recently diagnosed with cptsd and a pretty severe form of dissociation. She "switched" recently and asked her abusive ex to stay in our house with her to help with the kids, even though normally when he's in town he takes the kids to his mom's. I can't live there because of the...

    Relationship Supporting without over-stepping, aka My Tightrope Walk

    Ok, this is only my second post, but if you read my first, you'll know I had a difficult conversation with my SO and our therapist, which resulted in her shutting down for the past week. She's still struggling to function at the bare minimum and has 3 kids, one who is a non-verbal toddler on the...
