Hiya Tammy
I am also in a similar situation. I have PTSD from my trauma when I was 20. From talking about this with a counsellor it came up that I have a memory of someone asking to abuse me when I was about 8 or 9, saying no and then being very upset afterwards. I dont know if anything actually happened though. I'm hoping not obviously.
My counsellor and I were talking about hypnosis as I have no dna evidence from my trauma at 20. She told me that she thinks it is probably the case that hypnosis can be used in a court of law to convict someone and is looking into it for me. She does hypnotherapy and this only shows her confidence in how effective it is.
Whether it is the right thing for you to do is something else. I cant make that decission for anyone but myself. But for me, I will give it a try if it can be used in court - if i ever get the courage to go down that route.
Personally, I want to know everything, no matter how bad so that I can deal with it. What I definitely dont want is to get my life back on track only to find that I get new memories and have to start all over again with the healing. Just my opinion though. You need to find out what YOU want to do. We are all suffering from PTSD but we are all individuals.
Take care Tammy
