Title: Prolonged exposure therapy
Post by: caroline on November 17, 2017, 12:49:30 AM
This is really hard and upsetting work. But i feel a small shift in the confidence I have for my T. I've said much more than i even knew i remembered. 

Found out there is such a thing as body memories or somatic flashbacks. I am starting to feel like the picture is clearing up but it leaves a terrifying truth behind it.  I have disconnected from my self by spacing out for almost 30 years. This is where it started and the picture is becoming clearer. :fallingbricks:

if it feels like you're getting somewhere, i'd call that progress.  those shifts are important.  hope you keep experiencing more.  big hug, caroline.  it sounds grueling, but i'm glad you're getting something positive out of it.
