It turns out the hikikomori is more closely related to PTSD than the other disorders. Based on what you've said, it sounds like it's true in your case.

PTSD is entirely treatable, even curable. It would seem that hikikomori is also somewhere between treatable and curable. So the question:

Given that you have access to a therapist and you've turned a corner in your own life where you now have a will to move on, have you considered more serious professional help than the one-off check in?

.

EDIT: Thanks /u/CabbieCam. I stand corrected. Reading Wikipedia I see that "...A disease is said to be incurable if there is always a chance of the patient relapsing, no matter how long the patient has been in remission...". So any chance of relapse over any period of time means that CBT or whatever else would be a treatment and not a cure. My use of the word "cure" was incorrect.

Most commonly PTSD is treated with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Though I'm not sure if that's what you were asking.

Assuming you were focusing on the use of the word "curable", it is impossible to completely eliminate post traumatic stress. It is only possible to diminish it to the point that it is no longer a disorder. Then it becomes garden variety post traumatic stress like the kind we all have. Non-disorder post traumatic stress might be something like thinking about a loved one who died and still feeling very sad, even years later. Or remembering a bad relationship and carrying old habits (baggage) into the new one because we don't want to relive whatever bad happened there.

Does dating native american women differ from dating non-native american women? If so, how?

People like simple answers. Very simple answers. They ask narrowly framed questions which are impossible to answer honestly like "Which is the best martial art?" and anyone who doesn't answer with a single martial art must not know the answer.
