I have really thought about, because up til now I have not but my T can tell when I am seeing a memory(for some reason I hate the word flashback) from the past.

Like some of you I drift away and appear to be looking in the distance but unfocused. I know that when I am afraid of what I am experiencing I close my eyes and almost recoil physically from it.......as a way of making it go away. I also feel it in my entire body, its horrid!

When I dream obviously my eyes are closed, and just before sleep also closed if I begin to "remember".

When I can bring myself back I need, absolutely need, to be able to find something in the present to stare at and have found myself repeating over and over in my head the name of what I am looking at. I guess this has been my way of grounding to the present. Now though I try to use some of the techniques that my T has told me about.

Sorry you are experiencing this.....its hard huh? Hugs to you
