I think I have come to the semi firm (lol) conclusion that fb's are to managed, rather than to be "gotten rid of".

However, the better I "manage" them and ground myself... the less they happen. But I don't really think I will ever be completely free of them. I think they will always be a possibility, but that makes sense, given that the trauma was a huge part of my life.

I think it makes sense and shows very good self care not to read the rest of the book. I completely understand about it might bring back symptoms. I have myself bought books and by the time I get home or they are delivered I can't bring myself to read them. I like knowing I have the resource available, if necessary, but I don't want to get into it. Sometimes I feel silly about it, but mostly I think I being responsible and helping keeping myself safe by having limits and listening to myself.
