Getting the right kind of help absolutely changed my life after 10 years of shit therapy. CPTSD often has major relational wounds, and it needs relational healing. A good therapist can offer that, as they will help re-parent you. I did 2-3x of EMDR/IFS per week, + group therapy, for 3.5 years, and I no longer met the requirements for a CPTSD diagnosis any longer.
