I did a course of desensitization. I got to a certain point where the terror was too much and T decided it was not appropriate to continue the procedure, but it definitely decreased my anxiety about certain situations. I went from being unable to think about the person who caused my trauma to being able to think about some of the traumatic incidents without feeling excessive anxiety.

The key is that you are supposed to go slow. I kept trying to rush things and it didn't help me. Good luck!
