Sounds like you had a justifiable reason not to vacuum I can see where this would work and goes back to that face your fears type of thing but I guess to it all depends on the trauma. Situations of abuse you really wouldn't want to create, except some of the external factors that would be safe to approach.
When I first mentioned PE therapy I had several comments where people really were against it and even fearful of it. Almost made me back out but I figured that I still have some control over the therapy and that if it was too much I could always stop. Since I just started I can't honestly say if it's a good or bad idea. Though articles do support this type of therapy for PTSD and have had good results. Now....there was no mention of CPTSD so that may be something they just have not investigated with this. Time will tell
