Hi yoda,

Distraction works on taking the memories away from you at that time but in my own personal experience they just come back ......

jmo but sooner or later you face them and they lost their power over you..... it has taken me a long time..... and i couldnt have done it without the support of my T and my a very special close friend - both of whom have been sooooo patient wiht me ( i think i gave them lots of grey hairs lol)

In the end instead of fighting and pushing the memories away - distracting myself and them coming back later - i let them come - reminded myself that this was not happening now - that i survived it then and i can survive it now.... it was hard.... very hard..... but i have got through them i think... I hope... maybe there are more to come - i dont know i hope not - i hope they have stopped coming and that this is it..

i wish you well
