I've had a few, I think, SoupDragon. They are really awful and the first couple of times I really didn't know what was going on.

When they come I do grounding type things, especially the soothing ones - stroking something soft and velvety (probably reminds me of my childhood teddybear), hugging a hot water bottle, whatever is practical at the time. Like you, I know that I'm safe when it happens, but there's a difference between logic and that sort of feeling.

I'm still at the stage of probing for memories etc with EMDR so I'm kind of expecting that this sort of thing will go on for a while, as I gradually stop shutting out so much of what happened. But I seriously hope that it does at least dwindle, better still stop, eventually.

I hope that's some sort of help. Let me know if you find anything helpful, please...
