I'm trying to find something positive to say about trauma work, because I think there are positive things about it and I hate the idea of someone reading this thread and being scared off the whole idea.
What Tay said about flashbacks...I guess I do have fewer now. I know I had a lot more during the time that I was processing the trauma. It's hard to remember what it was like before but...I think that yes, I probably have fewer flashbacks. I sleep better, most of the time. I have less fear, less anxiety, most of the time.
My perceptions of my own trauma work are clouded by the rupture I'm going through with my T right now, but I hope that others will post about the positive aspects, because I know there are some.
