<font color="green"> Thank you, all of you. For whatever reasons this is where I am stuck. My therapist says I am not quite ready to work on this stuff and told me to let it go for now and see if we can get at it a different way. I dissociated several times and had several panic attacks. During this session. I was surprised at how good I have gotten at calming down again. Nevertheless, I was totally exhausted. She said to stop working on it and just live with it for now. I can’t figure out what else to do with it all – the flashbacks have been awful, I feel the blows; I smell the house, the dishes; I hear the sounds right down to clinking of the dishes in the sink and the whistle of the belt. I have relived being hit across my shoulder so many times I have rubbed it sore. I know I will get through. I just don’t know when. </font>
