Perhaps what is hard is when you are talking about an event where you are free to emotionally connect to the event and when you allow yourself to do that it can get emotionally overwhelming. This means that you have not emotionally processed the experience. My therapist had noticed this about me and he would stop me and ask me to sit with the emotions I was experiencing and at the same time running from in my conversation.

One of the challenges with PTSD/complex PTSD is emotional regulation.
