One of the PTSD symptoms I really struggle with is avoidance...
I avoid everything in my life that remotely reminds me of the trauma.

My T told me that I will never heal as long as I keep avoiding. She says I must face these things. I just can't bring myself to do it.

Is this a struggle for anyone else?
Does anyone have advice for how to do this? My T seems to be saying 'just do it', but I don't know if she understands how hard it is.
Thanks for this!
