I agree! I think it is great that you met with your T and that you are feeling better and have more clarity. But I agree with Tigergirl..it is hard to wait until the next day when you are feeling really bad and triggered. For me I know that I would be feeling a whole lot worse if I let stuff fester until the next day. Hopefully we are developing the skills to take us to a place where we can calm ourselves down and let stuff hold until the following day.
