I have not done PE therapy persay. I've have some cool success with EMDR however and am looking forward to starting some more with my new therapist. My exposure therapy was quite different and not controlled or very safe I'm afraid: I broke down and took myself to the ER which in my city is the same hospital where my father died, and my husband was place on a ventilator, etc. I was on a locked phych floor and the view from my window was of the old cathedral of this ancient hospital with 'the ghosts' of everything traumatic! I did okay, mostly joked around to cover my insecurities, then fell apart when I was in my room alone staring out at the old Gothic monstrosity of a building!
