Is anyone else out there mainly healed from PTSD but still struggles sometimes? What do you do in terms of coping skills to keep going? I’ve had CBT twice but still have some wobbles now and then

Hi Chazzyjp,
Welcome to the community.
I have been at that point and I simply had less frequent therapy sessions, when needed.
To me it helps to talk with friends who understand and can relate. It's easier knowing that someone knows what I'm going through and we can simply talk about things.
I think it's normal to have wobbles as recovery isn't a straight line.
For example some events may trigger something else that wasn't processed in therapy (yet) or some other aspects of the same trauma.
This means more work is needed.
It's the hardest thing to deal with accepting that sometimes we make a step forward and then a step back.
Sending support...

I'm still in therapy twice a week. I have made great forward progress.
Last week something hit me unexpectedly. It takes you off guard when you fall back a bit.
But im back up and running. I just had to focus on what I've learned is the reality of my situation, not the fear and anxiety that was present for so many years.

Yes I have healed from ptsd. What is CBT?
Of course yes everyone struggles at times.
I continue to write in a journal.
I walk everyday that clears my mind. I’ve been walking in my backyard because the surface is too painful to walk on.
I hired someone to drive me because of a new physical challenge.
I read books.
I teach myself new hobbies.
I hope to find a source of income again someday.
I hope that you look for what you need and find your way through. Take care
I’m healed from PTSD. I had two events. However I still have C-PTSD. I’m doing okay with that as well. I just keep using my coping skills. Times like this, my Pops dying slowly, puts it all to the test but I’ll see where I’m weak and get through this.
You’re human. Perfection is not an option. I still need to talk things out.
