I just read chapter 12. Has anyone had success doing this? Is there a down side to desensitizating yourself? I'm faced with a situation where I know I am going to become very triggered. I am trying to figure out how to approach preparing for this situation. Are there times when you should just allow yourself to be triggered and experience the anxiety, fear, body memories as they come?

I guess I don't understand when you are supposed to work on turning down the sensitivity dial or leave it alone and just allow yourself to be overwhelmed.

In the end which approach leads to lasting healing.
