Hi axereaper, I'm new to the forum but a few years deep into intensive CPTSD recovery work and I'd agree with the other posters that patience is key.
AND, one of the most useful and heartening things I've discovered on my journey has been Pete Walker's book Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving. Really helped me to understand how my CPTSD breaks down across life's small moments, and how to approach recovery in a realistic, self-compassionate, sustainable way. In fact, I'd say this approach is changing my life/brain. Though worth pointing out that I found this book after a few years of pretty intensive work around addiction, stress reduction & cortisol management (including a big job change), somatic work, talk therapy, polyvagal theory nervous system work and KAP (recent-ish). A multi-pronged approach is kinda necessary because C/PTSD is SO complicated!
If you can find ways to think about this journey as a bit of an information-gathering adventure, rather than a quest to "fix" yourself (which just reinforces the pervasive PTSD-feeling that you're fundamentally broken), it can feel a little easier.
Courage, mes braves!
