what kind of techniques do you learn in therapy when dealing PTSD?

Answer 1

You learn relaxation techniques like deep breathing, muscle relaxation and meditation, you also learn how to use positive imagery to stop a flashback.

You also talk about the event that caused the PTSD and ways to recognise and manage triggers.

After you have started getting better they might start trying desensitisation which is when you are gradually exposed to the things that make you anxious

Answer 2

that depends on who is treating you. When I went in for PTSD, my therapist used a machine of sorts to help me in dealing with the issues that arose from the trauma. No special skills or techniques needed.... and luckily for me, it worked beautifully.
