I usually zip thru this particular forum quickly ... can't remember if I've seen it here or if it would be better mentioned in Alternative Therapies, but the "latest greatest" for PTSD is EMDR (http://www.emdr.com/ ). Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is what it stands for, I have no idea what the h3ll it means.
Read up on it at the website. See if it pertains to your situation. I did my graduate work in psychology (but not clinical) ... but a few of my more clinically-minded friends from those days have suggested it to me. I don't know enough about PTSD tho to say one way or another -- you were traumatized over a span of years; mine is more from one specific event. And I'm way past the dissociative phase, so what I need may not be anything close to what you'd need.
