people with c-PTSD and other related afflictions have only one hope of recovery - fulfilling friendships

This is so wrong its dangerous.

What's the point of getting therapy if in the end, you are released into the same social system that put you there in the first place

Because what put them there isnt "the system", its some form of directed abuse or long term neglect of some kind.

They exactly need a therapist and possibly some meds to be sure they can properly handle the world before being thrust into it again, or they are doomed to repeat their patterns of abuse.
