How Can I Overcome This?

[Saflyfish_Ptsd]

Hi all
Im new here trying to find answers as we all are.
My main issue among others is this:
22 yrs ago i was trapped in a vehicle,my whole life before this being very claustraphobic.
I was stuck for a few hours...the worst kind of nightmare any claustraphobic user could ever experience.
Waves of distress,panic attacks etc etc.Destroyed my brain,my life.
For a week i was in this region where it happened.Every time getting into the car caused the same reactions.

I have been back over two dozen times to the region this incident happened.The feelings are all still there.
Been to many therapists but the feeling dont go away

Any advice on going forward?

I don't have any advice, but I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone.

Gradual exposure therapy with a therapist trained in it or this event sounds like a good fit for emdr therapy.

You were trapped in a car? Was there an accident also?
What started this fear of being trapped inside small places?
