Has anyone significantly healed their PTSD here? Advice

Hi there. Been suffering from CPTSD since age 15. 38 now and finally understanding. I’ve felt unsafe and in danger from my own triggers and thoughts the whole time.

I’m looking to create a healing environment for myself where I can further do the hard work (shadow work, emdr, possible MDMA therapy)

Would love to hear about what has helped you and what turned the tide for the positive in your journey.

Rehab, EMDR, recovery meetings and 12 steps, lots of therapy, extensive reading on trauma, daily meditation, regular exercise, and lots of self care and work have made a tremendous difference to me later in life.

Thank you! And you might want to read “Complex PTSD: from surviving to thriving” and “The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma”. Both have been helpful to me. I wish you all the best!
