Struggling with PTSD: Need Coping Suggestions

I have been stuck for a long time but it had to do with finding the right therapist. Once I found I could trust her things started coming up, she knew how to talk to me and safely. It’s important. I went through about 4 therapists where I barely said a word. It was pointless. It felt like there was no connection or they didn’t have the tools to handle what I needed. Please try a therapist, if you do t click try another. Find the right one and it takes tiMe

I understand this, it's hard but you just have to take things one day at a time. As for coping staying away from triggers untill you are in a better headspace is completely okay (it's what I still do sometimes!) I also REALLY recommend going to therapy to talk through things with a professional if you haven't already❤️❤️❤️
