Trace, I just wanted to say that I may have been going through PE therapy without even knowing it. It seems like the more trauma I go through, the less impactful the next one is. As you said I think I am becoming more desensitized to each successive trauma. As an example, my mom passed away a couple of weeks ago. I have been through quite a few trauma events in my life, my brother on the other hand hasn't been through nearly as much. He took my mom's passing much, much harder than I did. He, in fact, had to go into therapy for that one thing. Also, although, I can assure you, I do not have a death wish, I am not nearly so afraid of dying as is my brother. I have come to expect, and accept, it, and I don't even think about it. I think he doesn't expect it, but thinks about it too much. I think repetitive exposure to trauma has a lot to do with it. No doubt faith has a lot to do with it, as well. I am a true believer, he is not. Shalom.
