I originally started therapy to deal with PTSD. I was having horrible flashback nightmares every night and was sick of it. I worked through the PTSD with EMDR therapy which helps your brain reprocess the traumatic event in a healthier way. I was hesitant at first but was really surprised by the outcome. The nightmares stopped and now when the traumatic event crosses my mind Im not stressed out or angry about it. I still see my therapist just for someone to vent to about stuff. It’s better than always dumping that on friends or family :)
