Are you seeing a therapist? Gosh - that's a lot, no wonder it caused anxiety. One of the best things for PTSD is talking. Also, recognizing any cognitive distortions, acknowledging the feelings we had then, but reminding ourselves we are safe now and using grounding techniques to stay in the present. My best advice though would be to seek counseling if you haven't already. Welcome to PC, sorry you experienced that!
