I am currently working on a pros and cons list for doing PE.

My therapist told me here's what would happen in our sessions when we start:
I would talk to her about a traumatic experience in really extensive detail, over and over. Then, while I was talking about it, she will record what I am saying on a tape recorder and send it home with me to listen to while I am alone. She said I would only have to listen to it once a day.

Then I'd have to go out into places/do things that trigger the PTSD. Such as, eating something that reminds me of the trauma, or listening to a song that played on the radio during the trauma or things like that.

So there's a lot of homework involved and it sounds really hard.
When my T was explaining this she said I looked "petrified"
