I have done two rounds of Cognitive Process Therapy (CPT) that is a 12-week intensive program developed specifically for veterans with PTSD but is now used for others with PTSD. It was very effective and helpful, although it is very difficult, so you need to be ready for it and understand your symptoms will get worse before they get better.

you are most welcome. lots of people have traumatic childhoods and don‘t even know it, because they only hear their own circle‘s stories.

the literature on complex ptsd – trauma from childhood – is interesting too. ‘complex ptsd from surviving to thriving‘ is a book i find invaluable.

I will read it. Yes, developmental trauma disorder -- I can't believe that's not in the DSM-5, so they have to diagnose it as PTSD.
