my own experience was a form of desensitization...only way that I can describe it.
day or night, no one comes up behind me without making some kind of noise...murmuring softly-slight cough-whatever.
bedtime/drifting off to sleep usually meant a whisper of, "I'm going to put my arm around your waist." it gave me a second to let my guard down and relax...grounded, if you will, that I no longer had to watch my back

took practice and a willing partner
and acceptance on my part that it was going to be this way for awhile

part of the PTSD package
