sorry for your pain
PTSD can reactivate after 40 yrs, yet what I learned in therapy for me there were times when it has come out in little pieces that went 'unnoticed'. Or medium bits that I ignored.
Then there is the as you say the big event that changes brain chemistry back to the earlier path of depression/anxiety.
It has been a while since the night paralysis, mine are sound like a buzz and feeling of moving like being swept away. I thought I was going crazy but now that I know I am not crazy and SP is not uncommon.
When I do get this now I see where I can go and see, while trying to move my eyes to break the paralysis. The ride is fun but not that fun.
"the good news is that you benefited from T once, you can do it again"
and my best guess is that techiques have changed and some are more effective.
I myself could not handle the T without AD and ativan or clonazepam.
I am now at a point where the incident is more memory/part of my life instead of 'Ground Hog Day" like in the movie where I live it over and over again fresh.
take care,
