Hi ECHOES,

That is kinda what I am doing right now at 38. The last trauma was years ago, and I was just diagnosed with PTSD this summer. I go to a group which has been very helpful, and also to individual seesions sometimes on top of group.

My therapist told me that you might not remember everything all at once, it might be in snippets. She also said that sometimes, as Sky mentioned, the memories are not laid down correctly. I know that has been true for me. Sometimes after group I might have a bad dream, and it doesn't necessarily have anything specific to the trauma in it, just a scary dream.

Good for you for beginning a healing journey. Sending you good energy!
