I've never actually tried accupuncture, to be honest the idea scares me a bit. I don't like needles.
I have CPTSD from abuse and I've been healing it with EFT (Tapping Therapy). It helps me a lot and does wonders on rewiring those brainwashed part of my brain and healing the trauma caused by the abuse. I've also done some meditation therapy, a technique called Mind Calm and Mind Detox, which reduced my rage significantly and panic attacks and emotional flashback attacks from 3 a day to 5 a month.
I know that PTSD from abuse is different than PTSD for veterans, but a lot of the symptoms are similar if not the same. I would definitely suggest EFT and Mind Detox to anyone with PTSD/CPTSD. It healed my depression and I am determined to heal all the rest.
