Me again... Oh, man... I just re-read my post after sending it and now I'm worried that my sentence about "gently sending away" your flashbacks sounds like I am telling you all to just magically be stronger or get over it. Please don't take it that way. I didn't mean it that way. I know that none of us can just "get over" any of our disorders. I would like to say that by saying "gently send flashbacks away" I was being hopeful that we might learn to do it... when I typed that sentence, I was thinking of how the abuser has all this power that they don't deserve, so I got angry at all abusers of the world, and I want us to rise up and conquer. Hope that clarifies a bit. Sorry
