Hi Mtd........when I can't talk to my therapist or the flashbacks get so bad that I think I'm back there, he tells me to picture a door. Before it used to be electrified and I was scared to touch it, let alone go thru it. Back then he said that I was more than likely correct, but he has touched the door and walked thru it, and I don't have to be afraid anymore because the situation is changed. He is trying to lead me to that door an inch at a time, until finally I can turn the knob and go thru it. It scares me to death, and I have episodes where I can hardly breathe, but slowly I'm getting closer.
Remember that was then, and this is now. I'm trying.
