Hi, I am new to the group and hoping to gain knowledge and support. I am a mom of a veteran (Adam-31 yrs of age) who has PTSD. He has been incarcerated for over 3 years and we are going to trial in March. I am hoping I can get and give support to this group. Thank you

Hello again, Ada. We met in the PTSD forum. Yes, I am a veteran, but I carried my cPTSD into the Army with me. In fact, I started my psychotherapy in earnest through the base infirmary.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
