Amy Bucciere is a sex and relationships therapist who also focuses on PTSD, complex PTSD, EMDR, addiction, depression and anxiety. She doesn’t take insurance so each session is out of pocket. I highly recommend her.

Some books that might help -

The body keeps the score - Bessel van der Kolk What my bones know - Stephanie Foo

Much love to you and hope this helps.

Stephanie Foo had an hourlong episode on This American Life recently.

I see she only does telehealth. I am in need of someone I physically sit with and talk to. I appreciate the recommendations though, I will try to take a look into those books! I am not a big reader but I will try to look into those. Thank you!

I understand the desire to be in the same physical space with someone.

Deirdre Fay is someone else who works extensively with C-PTSD. In addition to her books, she also has some YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/DeirdreFay

(Edited to clarify: unfortunately, Deirdre Fay is not local. I mentioned her here in the spirit of giving other supplementary resources and because I have found her video presence to be not just knowledgeable but also calm and compassionate.)
