Sufferer Relationship break down led to ptsd diagnosis

[Brunny]

Hi
I’ve had a couple of traumas (physical, and emotional) since a very early age. Never had any visible problems relating to them but now in my 40’s a relationship breaking down has resulted in everything coming to the surface and I’m trying to sort this all out once and for all.
Therapist has said PTSD and has recommended EMDR. I’m trying to sort it all out on my own but am realizing how much this has actually affected me and my decisions subconsciously all along.
I look forward to reading more and hopefully contributing.
Cheers
Brunny

You are like so many who are discovering, later in life, that their difficulties concerning behavior, self-views, and distrust etc. stems from earlier abuse.
