How long to heal?

How long does it take to heal from PTSD? Does anyone know of someone who has completely healed?

I see trauma as energy trapped in my body, which can come to the awareness of my mind and then healed. The past is what it is. The story we tell ourselves can change with psychotherapy and other avenues of healing. The truth is our bodies scan the environment for threat, all of the time. The fight, flight, freeze, and fawning are defense techniques that we use all the time. To live in trauma, is to have our button stuck to such a degree that the quality of our life is affected. To heal trauma is when the quality of your life increases to such a degree that there are many moments of happiness within the opportunities of life.

Yep, focusing on today is a great way to live. I find when I go 'future tripping' I exhaust and drain myself and put my mind in the survivor mode. thanks for the great reminder.
