Really great to hear, ArtleyWilkins, and thank you for sharing this.
I think I am pretty much there as well; but on this occasion I was reacting to a situation which could have been similar to what I went through when I was young, and it triggered the trauma. So it hasn’t completely disappeared, even after many years, and years of therapy.
