Sufferer Everything Is Okay, So Why Aren't I?

Hi Caterpillar,

Welcome to the forum!

Still, I don't feel like I deserve to classify myself with people who've survived traumas like rape and child abuse.

One thing about this site, we all have PTSD in common and trauma is trauma and no one will judge or compare. We are here to find a place of understanding, the sharing of information and support as each of us works on healing.

Healing is very individual, and I found CBT and DBT most effective in my own recovery. There are other therapies and each person finds what works best for them, and you will find that some individuals utilize different types of therapy throughout the process. I hope you find the information and support here beneficial to your healing.

Thanks, Debbie. It's good to know people won't be comparing and judging here, because I definitely felt like they were doing that in some other online groups I've been in (though my in-person support group is great). It's also nice to hear that CBT and DBT helped you. I've only been in the DBT group for about a month, so I'd like to believe they'll be more benefits as it goes on (it's a 4 month course).
