Hi Beth11,

you have to find the one that works for you, there are lots, the first thing that helped me was finding a counsellor that I could trust, I've had cognitive behaviour therapy - that helps with the warped thought patterns - Thought field therapy - that's like acupressure, EMDR which is rapid eye movement desensitisation -and read heaps of self help books when I was between psychologists - the best book I have read - adn I have read lots is the PTSD sourcebook by glenn shiraldi it has so many different things you can try from breathing exercises to changing your thoughts and dealing with flashbacks it's great - another good book though not specifically for PTSD is A guide to rational living by Dr Albert Ellis - he really tells it like it is - the PTSD one has helped me a lot when I have been in the depths of despair of reasdy to jump out of my skin with hypervigilence. Without all of these I wouldn't be here now - but especially for my Psychologist - I saw 3 different one's but only trusted one and he has helped me a lot - hope this helps. MBC
