Meds, CBT, mindful meditation (check out the neuroscience studies on this as it is very beneficial for calming the mind in the "now"), avoidance of triggers, moderation of stimili, which may include smaller groups of interaction, hyprotherapy, EMDR, bed room prepared for good night sleep: no violence on TV, routine schedule conducive for sleep, separate bedroom might be necessary, darkened windows, LED lights covered, white noise CD or soft sleep music tailored to night brain wave (google Stephen Halpern or Lyz Cooper, sound therapist), guided imagery CDs or just a quiet room with the door shut.

Hope that helps along with the other tips you might receive.

I noticed in your profile that you have social anxiety. My psychiatrist started me on Gabapentin 8 months ago because it has been used successfully by people with PTSD and social anxiety. I began on 100 mg a day and then went to two and find it works wonderfully well in taking my brain hyper-arousal down a notch.

Between that and Citalopram, I feel chemically balanced for the first time in my life. First diagnosed at age 62 and am now 66. Wished I had begun medication in my 20s or earlier and not suffered so long.

yup try different therapies and find which and who works for you ... i also found hypnotherapy with nlp to be helpful as is support group... also when having flashbacks the parts of your brain that stores trauma memories and related reactions doesn't know the difference between past and present. you need to be able to get your conscious mine back in charge so that it knows you are in present not past. that can be anything that brings senses and you into now.... repeating the date, smelling altoids (or strong smell), eating altoids (or strong taste), counting objects you see, music, bristles of a brush for touch, etc ... in case of panic attacks reciting alphabet backwards in head (hard) to break physical-emotional reaction...
