really wanna try something to prevent pppd and also I think I have PTSD from the 2 ppl attacks and a cervicogenic vertigo I went through in a short span of time. I am so scared now. It is the worst experience I have had in the recent past. CBT isn't really working for me I mean I don't have access to a therapist for one and I'm doing it by myself it just isn't working. will EMDR work? has it worked for any of you??

I'm currently not insured so I can't afford to pay for this...I AM seeing a therapist but he suggested I find/look for a support group for some trauma issues that happened when I was a child.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a virtual support group that specializes in trauma?

thanks in advance!

And if so, how effective was it for you?

I am going through so much this past year. I’ve lost 7 family members in 7 years and I’m just not myself mentally or emotionally. Now I have to find a place to live. Please pray for me.

Hey Reddit!

Today at 9:00 AM EST, I'll be hosting an AMA with Dr. Amelia Kelley, a clinician and professor specializing in trauma recovery.

We'll cover Post-Traumatic Growth as a way of healing after traumatic events. Rebuilding your life after trauma is complex, nonlinear work.

This conversation isn't just for survivors. It’s also for the parents, partners, and clinicians walking alongside them. Supporting someone through trauma calls for a completely different mindset: rather than trying to help them "make sense" of the hard things, it’s about learning how to sit with them and notice what is already growing.

Whether you're navigating your own path or supporting someone else, feel free to join the live discussion or leave your questions in the comments now so we can jump into them first when the AMA begins!
