About to start psychotherapy for child abuse - what can I expect

[adelicatequestion]

Has anyone had psychotherapy for this reason. I have been diagnosed as having complex PTSD as a result of the above trauma.

It manifests itself in health concerns, panic attacks, fear and anxiety, compulsive overeating (god I wonder how I get out fo bed reading that!)

Has anyone benefitted/not from the above. It will include EMDR, CBT and sensory psychotherapy or a combination of these as well as traditional stuff.

Any experiences you have, I would love to hear about, especailly what worked and what didn't.

TIA

Glad to help. The psycholigist is really helpful and is good at questionning me and getting to teh cause rather than letting me hoodwink her with my avoidance techniques!

I'm actually looking forward to the next session as this is the new me on the way.

Hasn;t had a dramatic affect on my crap eating yet.

Keep us posted as to how you find it.
