And top that off with trying to decide whether to start EMDR with him, it is a pretty stressful time.
Seems like you have a great handle on your recovery and wellness, what a great example!

You're very much welcome and thank you.
I think I'm doing pretty good at my recovery, I would enjoy getting involved in peer support to help other people recover. I'm not "cured" by any means, but I did a lot of work towards my recovery and made some pretty big steps. The plan was to take baby steps but I ended up becoming obsessed with recovery and dedicating almost every waking hour to healing.
Yeah definitely talk with your T about it, the best thing I did for my anxiety was to stop letting it control me. If something makes you anxious, that's even more reason to do it because then after you've done it and nothing bad has happened you'll realize that the anxiety was unnecessary. Eventually you build off each experience that you have the strength to face your fears and not let them control you anymore. Its pretty much what exposure therapy is all about, desensitizing you to your triggers and helping you get the PTSD into a "managed" state. Wish you all the best!
