How do you get over post traumatic stress disorder

Its been over two years already.....I've found understanding and forgiveness, but I still find myself dwelling on the past...with many triggers!

Anyone telling you to just toughen up and learn to cope is mislead in their advice.

There are several roads leading to resolution of PTSD, but they all involve professional help. A therapist can show you EMDR, which is indicated for some people but not others, Seeking Safety, a program created specifically for women and very trust-centered, CBT and talk therapy and other interventions.

PTSD is the reaction to a previous traumatic event or events. We can learn to let go of that with work and improve the quality of life. Don't put yourself through what you don't have to; find a good counselor and they can help you through. Good luck.
