I can’t speak to the numbers but I underwent CBT-I and I can tell you 4 years later when I have an insomnia relapse I know exactly what to do. Problem is I don’t want to do it lol but when I do it works quite well.

Sounds like you’ve been burned, but if you have enough energy to try the challenge of CBT-I there should be hope both short term and long. The reason is its a sequence of behaviors you can repeat yourself - without a therapist, after you learn how to do it. Good luck!

Is there a relationship between secret keeping and PTSD symptoms that you are aware of? As one of my therapy supervisors put it, “trauma lives in secrets” and I often remember this when talking with my therapy clients. Some of my traumatized clients keep many secrets while others leak every detail of their life outward without discrimination.
