I'm new here and happy to be here

Hello

I am 63 yo woman.

I've done a ton of work on myself over the years, mostly addressing symptoms like panic and shame and anxiety and depression.

Just recently I began working with a therapist, honestly I was too ashamed or self-conscious or something to work with another person.

This therapist diagnosed me with CPTSD which is pretty much an obvious fit
The therapy is very body-focused: emdr, internal family systems, breath work etc. It's hard but it's been working! And I'm experiencing real change. No doubt there will be set-backs.

As I'm sure other people on this forum have experienced (and I'd love to hear about this from other Folk) it's not easy to find people to share this stuff with. That's what has brought me here. I'd like to feel less alone and just have a place where other people understand.

So thanks to everyone for being here.https://www.cptsd.org/forum/Smileys/classic/grouphug.gif
