bonnieboo11, I would add to the list above a fear of or great unease about being photographed, especially if this was part of the abuse.

New fears....like suddenly being afraid or wanting to know what's in various places. Or noises suddenly becoming alarmed to. Heightened sensitivity.

I try to watch for anniversaries. I've noticed my daughter has been sleeping a lot and seems a bit withdrawn. This is the time of year we would normally visit perp.

PTSD is lifelong. It has triggers. When we think all is going well, that trigger can be flipped. This may be causing your love's nightmares?

Also, insisting on sitting in a corner -- at a booth in a restaurant, for example, to keep an eye on everyone else, with an awareness of all the exits.

I'm not sure what is going on with her,she was having nightmares about the abuse and asked me not to talk to my sil anymore but since then she is having nightmares about random stuff,zombies,monsters etc.

This has helped me a lot with dreams. Not to focus on the visual part of the dream....but the feelings and emotions that is what is being processed. The feelings may connect then to How she felt as a result of the abuse, during etc... She can journal about the dream and feelings to see if that brings resolve. Sometimes just understanding what is happening helps. If it is severe meds can sometimes help but I'm guessing this can be resolved other ways.

The further in the process of healing and counseling she goes the less the signs of ptsd will be there. My daughter has some but they have greatly decreased overall. It will get better. I play nighttime music for the kids that seems to help calm them before bed. Or listening to a bible story or something wholesome. Breathing exercises to help her calm down and relax,

My daughter is to the point of developing agoraphobia now. Seems like there are others kind of describing this. It originates from panic - and not being able to see a way out from the location you're in.

That's the word, 96 -- agoraphobia. My daughter used to complain that everyone was looking at her (she was in therapy at the time, but still had not disclosed). While other girls lived for going to the mall, she was ill at ease there. She bought clothes and brought them home before trying them on, she was so uncomfortable about changing in store dressing rooms.
