Various treatments: Cognitive processing therapy is gold standard for complex ptsd. Virtual reality exposure therapy is also effective for many. Emdr can have success rates with simple ptsd, not so much with complex. Psychotropic medications are often very beneficial. Group therapy for individuals with like trauma, psychoeducation, acupuncture, family therapy and psychotherapy are also beneficial.
