I get constant anxiety, social anxiety. I feel inferior and it affects my work in that I where possible avoid speaking to people because I feel I am wasting their time.
I've started reading Pete Walkers book on cptsd and also been following Crappy Childhood Fairy YouTube channel.
The things in these videos and Pete Walkers book describe me perfectly so whilst I am undiagnosed I'm pretty sure I have cptsd.
This largely comes from being shouted at and criticised continuously as a child as well as zero warmth, love and affection from my parents. Extended family on my mother's side were also mean to be because they didn't like my father.
For the last 9 months I have been seeing a counselor who uses schema therapy and I feel I am making very little progress. The main progress is around being aware of why I'm triggered in certain situations and the emotions feel too overwhelming to deal with them at the time.
So I just battle against these triggers but they just keep happening.
It could partly be my fault because it feels like such a mountain to climb and nothing has worked previously that I lose the will to work at it.
Is there a more suitable therapy out there?
