I actually started LDing for the same reason.
I had had PTSD nightmares so bad that I was afraid to sleep, so my Dr. put me on "minipress." THis was about 5 years ago. It got rid of the nightmares, but had other side effects. So, about 8 months ago I dicided that I was in a place in my life where I was ready to tackle the nightmares head on. So, with the help of my Dr. I began reducing the minipress, which caused the nightmares to come back a little bit at a time.
In those 8 months I have made a TON of progress using LDing. I actually expect that when I completely stop taking minipress next month (or so) that I won't have any more PTSD nightmares. I feel finally that I have made peace with what happened and like I am now fully free to move on with my life.
During these 8 months I have had only a few (3) very mild flash-backs during my waking hours. I don't know where you are on your flash-backs, but that is actually less than what I am used to having. However, I don't know how you will respond to LDing.
But, yes. It is completely possible to see real progress using LDs. I had a huge head-start, since I have had LDs naturally since I was a kid.
If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me.
