Diagnosed with PTSD due to sexual abuse by my father as a child. I am a 49 yo woman with 5 children. Is this the correct forum? If not, can someone guide me to the right one? Thanks!
I also have PTSD from child sexual abuse. I finally found a Dr. in Marin who is an integrative MD and Psychiatrist both, and who has helped me tremendously.
It turns out that beta blockers can permanently cure PTSD, and potentially other types of anxiety disorders and that it can be done in 1-2 years, after which you can discontinue taking them. They change the structure of the brain while you sleep, including the pathways that were changed to cause the PTSD.
I have started this treatment and can report that it is working. I did 6 months on beta blockers, taking 1 at night only. I stopped for 6 months and my anxiety difficulties are much better. I plan to do another course for 6 months soon.
The only reason I'm not doing 2 years straight is due to my asthma and some other health problems. But I can tell the this is working. The Dr. is Michael Rosenbaum in San Rafael, and he's amazing.
The other therapy that can help is EMDR, the gold standard in trauma therapy. This is a very direct, specific therapy from a psychologist and can help a lot.
Warmest wishes for your healing. You are not alone. There is hope.
