So my girlfriend has PTSD and has had it for quite a few years, due to trauma in her childhood. She says she thinks about it every day amd cannot stop. I don't really know much about it, although I've been through very similar trauma and whatnot. Any advice on how I can help her at all? I feel terrible not knowing what to do.

Has she ever had any form of counselling?

She has been to therapy and been on quite a few different medications, all of which has given her bad reactions so she's not on anything right now, and gets very nervous at the thought of councelling even when I offer to go with her. She also has a lot of anxiety in general as well as OCD and a few others.

As someone who has had PTSD for quite a few years a lot of which was caused from childhood experiences, I can't even begin to explain how much I would recomenend counselling.To have an outside outlook; I also found it so beneficial to talk to other people that had been through similar experiences, so a support group would be invaluable. If she can't find one I would be happy to private message with her.
