Lemonaide, ask your T if the book that I'm reading might be of any help to you. It's called "Forgiving the Unforgivable". I don't want to push it on you if he thinks it's inappropriate, but it sounds like it's right on the money.
Please take care.
I decided to get some energy healing treatment for the effects that I'm dealing with from my PTSD - acupuncture, chiropractic (I think you are doing that already) and this practioner does laying on of hands. Yesterday's treatment left me feeling parched (!!) which I didn't expect; had a huge headache, and my back hurt; but this next morning I'm feeling clearer.
I think that it takes many different paths to find the one that works for us as individuals. And I think that we can't give the mind-body connection enough attention - your head is hurting and your skin is erupting because of the emotions that are the exact same thing inside you. You can honor your body's reactions by being as gentle as you can in how you treat yourself. You are literally reliving the trauma every time you recall it - your body does not know the difference between an experience and the memory of one. So take care of yourself. It does get better.
