Sufferer Realising What Really Happened

[Deleted member 1860]

100% symptom free and cured without ever processing what happened to you. I'm in awe.

I wouldn't go that far. I have spent six years in therapy going over and over what happened, so some processing must have taken place. During the last four years, my therapist noticed that I relapsed entirely when we discussed what happened so we stopped with that and I haven't gone back to it for about four years. . I no longer have symptoms of PTSD but I do regress sometimes, and on the rare occasion, I do still dissociate. I'm not entirely sure that anyone is ever completely cured. For me, I can't imagine a life that is not in some way marked by that one night.
