The first thing is to reach out as you are doing. Remember that post traumatic stress is often from past experience and not in the present. Work at making peace with the memories
There is no one best therapy. Research has been conducted on several approaches to treating PTSD, and the following have been shown as beneficial: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). However, there are many innovative and complementary approaches (e.g., bodywork) that can be effective, as long as the therapist monitors and tracks the client's progress.
Yes, there are many therapies for PTSD. Many are based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It will force you to deal with the underlying trauma. Prolonged exposure or Cognitive Processing therapies are the gold standards. Medications may be part of the process as well.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) are two gold standard psychotherapy treatments for PTSD.
