Thank you, kind people, for making me feel welcome! 

Yes, therapy has been essential for me, but only after I found the right therapist for me. The first 3,5 years with a patronising therapist with the attitude "I'll fix you right up" was a glorious waste of time and money.

Anyway, I'm glad I found these forums!

Hey everyone,

I am a 50+ old male from Scandinavia with developmental CPTSD.  I was diagnosed some 12 years ago and have since been in therapy twice a week. I've currently started to do also somatic exercises, but if I indulge too much I am worse off; the stress reactions are even more debilitating than otherwise. I am unable to work because of the extremity of my symptoms and feel totally isolated from the world.

So, I guess I am here to alleviate the feeling of alientation and isolation which pains me so, at the moment.

Looking fwd to meaningful exchanges,

S
