Ok I need advice guys. One of the trauma's that is a part of my ptsd, is SA. I have already told my T the general things surrounding it, but it doesn't feel like enough. My flashbacks and nightmares are focused on one specific experience, and it is really bothering me. I have been feeling the need to go into detail about it, but I'm really scared and unsure of what I should and should not say, or even how to approach it. He already knows this is what I want to discuss next week, and he said we can...it's just really frightening.

He did one thing today that made me wonder if I should though. We briefly talked about going into detail about the past.

He basically asked me.. Why did I want to? What did I think it would do? Why do I think it would help me process it? Why, why and a few more why's later...my answer was IDK!!!!! and finally he let up.

Should I really go into detail? Is there anything off limits? Any specific advice/experiences/tips?
