Hello
I have recently come to the realization that I have CPTSD. I have been through and overwhelming year and finally it is sinking in that years of domestic violence ( physical, verbal, - including death threats from him and " his friends ") past sexual abuse and being stalked has made me have symptoms that I never connected to cptsd. I look back and see the dissociation, depression etc. and I dont know how I did not realize the trauma I had gone through and the the symptoms that I had. I just numbed out and got what I needed to get done to survive. I am trying to break fully out of the denial that I have been under about the trauma that I have gone through, but the numbing is so intense and overwhelming that it wants to draw me back into the fog. When I do feel anything it like an overwhelming tidal wave of feelings and emotions. I have a therapist now , but I feel he wants to skim over the trauma and just focus on feeling better right now. Does anyone have any experience with eye movement processing and effectiveness or any other suggestions that may help?
thanks so much
