Hey there. I'm also working on getting through university with PTSD.
I am still dealing with a lot of symptoms and haven't found a lot of quick fixes for that, but I can tell you about a few logistical things that have been a huge help for me.
First of all, I cannot recommend enough making use of your university's mental health services if they are available. I see that you are in therapy, which is great, but since your therapist seems to specialize in trauma, I am assuming that they are probably not affiliated with your university. If you can find some sort of mental health officer/representative affiliated with your university, it's a great idea to speak with them a bit about what you're dealing with. These are the people that will really be able to advocate for you in the event that you need someone to speak with professors on your behalf, etc. so having a relationship with them can be really valuable.
I would also say try going to an accessible education office, if your school has one. Most people thing these offices only handle learning disabilities like dyslexia or physical disabilities that might make attending class difficult, but a lot of times they will help you with anything that is interfering with your education, like PTSD! They can get you extra time on exams or other things that might help you focus.
Finally, never underestimate the power of being up front with your professor. If you are having trouble in a class or think you are potentially going to struggle, it is totally okay to email the professor ahead of time and explain what you are up against. I usually don't feel comfortable revealing that I have PTSD. A lot of times, I say something like, "I am dealing with some family problems back home this semester, and I have been having trouble focusing on my work." (I feel that this is more or less an accurate representation since a lot of what I am "dealing with" in my PTSD stems from family problems, even in they are not ongoing.) You will be surprised how compassionate professors can be and how willing they are to work with you to figure out a solution. In my experience they also tend to take what you say at face value and not pry. If you are professional with them, they will return the favor.
The program that I am in is pretty intense and has a reputation for triggering depression/anxiety. As a result, my university has come up with some great mental health resources that I would be lost without. I know not everyone is so lucky, but if you are, please take advantage of that system. It will be priceless! If not, don't underestimate the power of using what you do have and making direct contact with professors.
On another note, I know it can be pretty hard to be in school with PTSD. It seems like at my school there is a lot of focus on living with anxiety or depression or even eating disorders. I think it's great that people are talking about these problems on campus, but a lot of times it seems like the assumption is that college students are not suffering from PTSD. I've found, fortunately, that this is not the case. There are people who live with PTSD and make it through university all of the time. Just know that there are others of us out here who are doing it, too, and even though it is not easy, you certainly have the capacity to make it through!
