I wrote ... and wrote. Then I read what I wrote, to myself, then out loud. I recorded it and played it back--listened closely. I'd go back and rewrite ... repeat the whole process. Often it would turn into a monologue. Sometimes I'd dissociate and in the end I'd have a play with several characters.

I'd take this to my T and he'd work with me to try to help me dig out the deepest fear that I hadn't been able to objectify. This wasn't often successful, and we return to it sometimes. At least we know the areas where triggers are.
