Perna, I do the same thing still - leave out whole paragraphs in books, skip class when I knew what the subject matter would be - there was one school book i never read in college because it would have put me as in-pt. And really, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer triggers me too in certain spots so I stopped watching it ages and ages ago - thankfully, I don't have kids so no more of that for me, Cyrano. i think I even showed my t those books and she agreed with me that I probably shouldn't be reading it, but figured one day I could if i "normalized" all that stuff.
Sory - but does anyone get that? Normalize?!!? What is normal about - well I can't post those words in here... but that just seems like re-traumatizing people all over again. I don't think I want those subjects to be "normal".
