I had a session last week where there was a specific noise that is a HUGE trigger for my PTSD. T was able to recognize that something was wrong and helped me do some grounding exercises, but it was physically and emotionally exhausting.
The noise was totally out of my or my T's control, but now I am terrified to go back there! I'm supposed to go back for another session this week, but I'm thinking about canceling - I'm extremely fearful that the noise will happen this week, and I don't want to be triggered like that again. I know avoiding it will only make the anxiety stronger, I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation, and how they were able to overcome it?
Many thanks.
