PTSD fires off so many auto responses in the body. It can be awful, but for me it helps me to remember it is just that. A file in my brain on replay and the unfortunate chemical and electric responses that go with it. It feels easier to swallow when I take the show quality away from it and look at it for what it is. It is like lifting the curtain in front of Oz.

Then I redirect. I imagine myself in a healthier and stronger place. I remind myself of times when I felt safe and what's really true for me.

Thanks for sharing this.
