PTSD - therapist or psychiatrist
A long time ago, I had several medical traumas. I had to think about them recently to try to help my kid, I now find myself unable to sleep, sad, angry, depressed etc, which I think is PTSD. I did not know it could crop up after 16 years . I don't know if a psychiatrist or a psychologist is more appropriate for this. Does anyone have any advice, or recommendations of professionals to see? Thank you for any suggestions.

I highly recommend Masako Guthrie at the kensho counseling center in Berkeley. She specializes in emdr therapy. In a short amount of time I had released so much. Good luck!
I also highly recommend EMDR. In a few sessions Gina McCarthy helped immensely.
I would also recommend EMDR therapy. It is very effective to help with Past trauma. You can look for a therapist through the International Association (www.emdria.org) and look for a therapist in your area. Also, you can find more information about this type of therapy.
