@JustTrish are you doing this with the guidance and support of a therapist?

Yes. I mentioned that I couldn’t go have a sleep study because of flashbacks. I asked her what I could do. She mentioned a narrative. She told me if I get flooded to stop.

It is very difficult. It’s best to try with a therapist’s help. I haven’t done it yet myself. But you started and that’s good. Even if it’s two sentences, it’s still something. Maybe tomorrow you can add two more sentences

Hey it’ll be ok just take it at your pace!! If you find you can’t do it it’s perfectly ok and totally understandable.

Trauma recovery is a long and rocky road. I believe in you and I know you can make it though this!!

I’ve been lucky with therapists. I’ve only had one since 2003 that I didn’t connect with.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. It means a lot.

I was abused/bullied when I was young and it leaved a huge scar in my life.

I hope you will get some relief from your trauma soon. You’re not alone.
