yes. that is very true about needing to be stable enough to be able to go through the memories without reverting back to/triggering harmful/unhealthy coping skills/states.
i have felt like maybe i was ready to do just that and do hypnosis to remember things, but i don't think i am as i still find it hard 10 years into seeing my psychiatrist to even sit in her office for 30 minutes to an hour every few months and just generally talk about how i have been doing. so, i am not quite sure i am ready yet even though a lot of harmful coping skills i had in the past have been managed. there is still the potential for decompensating in general and suicidal/self harm issues to arise even while being in a more stable place more often the last few years, so i still am hesitant on doing things to potentially disturb it all.
