Since I can't do anything about I think relive a time when it was more positive it was more stable is often a way we talk about some of jealousy anger shame. We do this alot being kind of creative as least it wasn't as bad as this one or that one....It works for us we tout our achievements in our anger as well....We say hey it wasn't as bad as the time functioning a few months ago....I think is not that great for chronic ptsd but it helps gets those moments taken care of . Our people comee to expect appreciate it like becoming a preacher except when that isn't want is wanting it has always been malaadaptive but useful when you venture the other side of this phenomenon...
