lightcatcher....I also find the night time worst, when my brain is not otherwise occupied, and then the trauma thoughts or therapy thoughts come in.

What I do now, and after lots and lots of practise it seems to work often.....is that I allow myself to think the thoughts for a little while, then tell myself, ok, now this goes away behind that door marked *therapists name*.....he can deal with it and maybe we'll look at it some time together.

(ps, I have always been exceedingly good at locking things behind doors in my head, I think this helped!)

Oh, and my therapist says that I need to give myself a break in between sometimes. Too much thinking is exhausting!!!!!!!!
