As many of you know from my recent posts, my wife suffers from PTSD. Until she went into therapy a few years ago, her anger made it very hard for her to hold a full time job in the long term, although we didn't know it was related to PTSD at that time. She would start a job by impressing the employer with her skills etc. but after a couple of years, her anger would escalate to the point where she'd lose her job.

However, since she found a good therapist, she has gotten a good job and is still doing very well after more than two years with them. We're both hoping that she'll stay in this job for several more years.

I'm sure that everyone is different, but for my wife the cognitive behavioral therapy made a huge difference for her on the job. She learned to analyze situations much less emotionally, instead of instantly snapping at anyone who said something she didn't care for.

I'm probably rambling here, but my point is that I think the right therapy can help some people to hold a full time job, if that's what they want to do.
