            Nothing about the mind is truly immutable, though that change isn’t certain either. You may or may not become hopeful once again; or, most likely, a realist of some sort rather than a cynic. That is why we simply hope that it can happen for you.

                  Not really. Cptsd changes the foundational development of the brain and that coupled with high IQ leads to behavioral interventions not working.

                    If you can reason yourself out of therapy, you can reason yourself into it. Trust me, I have experience. Treat it like a problem you have to find a solution for, and try to look at it “from the outside”. Observe what different situations and thought patterns make you feel, and develop a system for choosing healthier ones. Not easy, but it works sometimes.
