yes. for me... it seemed to work... even if the "therapy" wasn't intended... the person who caused my trauma left my school and i wasn't supposed to see him anymore... but he'd visit my school after school when id hang out there... and id shake really really bad, and when it got too intense, id just stare into space. Each time he came the shaking got to be less. I don't know where it would have gone if we didn't start talking again.... (yeah, im so damned naive) but it had started to almost not affect me. I would consider that prolonged exposure therapy. It wasn't fun. Not at all. I wanted to severly injure him... or myself. I would have felt so much better if i could have gotten into a fight with him, but i didn't, and i think i am okay now. Hope that helped at all. even a little.

Dias,

If you don't know what someone means, it would be better to just let someone else answer who has something relevant to say. Or you can ask someone for more information.

I know you mean well, but some of the topics on this forum are really serious.

JulieBean,
yes that is a lot like PET. glad you're not as affected by him anymore. (((Huggs))))

<font color=purple> Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count no one but himself; that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
