Unexpected benefits of successful C-PTSD treatment:
- Better concentration (no more ADHD symptoms!)
- More regular/flowing creativity. I can sit down and write pretty much whenever; it doesn't need to be when everything is 'just right'

The problem with having undiagnosed trauma is that it can present as all kinds of things: ADHD, anxiety, depression, BPD, imposter syndrome, etc. All those things can exist on their own but if you have trauma as an underlying cause for them, treating the trauma is most effective.
For years I've been trying to manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, insecurity, low self-esteem, a fear of rejection, a need for outside approval, incessant people pleasing... and nothing worked well. Then 11 weeks of trauma therapy changed everything.
So forgive me for going on about this sometimes, but I'm almost 44 and spent years suffering with issues I couldn't resolve no matter how much help I received. So I'm going to shout this from the rooftops sometimes so maybe someone else won't have to wait that long.
Please just know that your mileage may vary. I had done years of therapy before trauma therapy, so I was finally able to implement everything else after I'd learned to manage my triggers. It can take much longer for some and less time for others. Best not to compare. 💗
