I have not read all of the book the body remembers, I don't want to finish reading it because I don't want my PTSD to come back, sounds lame doesn't it?

I was having daydreams even before the abuse happened, I don't know why, but I guess my greatest fear was being attacks, abused etc, and it happened.

I never realized either that what I was going through was a form of a flashback, I didn't know that flashbacks are also body memories I just assumed that a flashback had to play like a movie or something.

I still get body memories from time to time but they are less and it doesn't occur much anymore, same with triggers. But I'll likely always get them, but as long as I remind myself where I am and that i'm not with or around those people anymore I should be fine.
