It could be you're going through too much, going too fast. Sometimes going slower gets you to a safer place faster.

JD_- I SO agree with this! And yet, sometimes it's easy to get stuck in that driven place of pushing though- trying to 'force' the healing, bget there fats or 'overexpose' oneself. Especially when I recognize I am not doing well.

The good news is that with time comes awareness of these patterns. Gorunding skills and self care are essential during these times. So if a hoodie helps you feel safe in bed, that's okay, that's an easy way to provide yourself care and comfort.
I have always felt a bone chilling cold when I'm going though flashbacks- used to have a partner hold me. THat's not possible now and I just got myself an electirc blanket- it feels good to curl up under something very warm and comforting.
Please be gentle and kind with yourself-
