In reply to flashbacks,how to share in T? *might trigger*, posted by frida on March 11, 2007, at 1:33:01
I think revealing flashback and the like in therapy can be watershed moments in your recovery.
I had a terrible flashback/body memory once during a gyno exam. I was triggered beyond measure and called my T that day.
He saw me and was so soothing - so understanding, that it really helped me to realize that it was just a memory.
The bond between us only deepened as a result of my revelation and I knew that I could trust and rely on him when the bad stuff seemed overwhelming.
I know it is very hard to put yourself out there and reach out even further when all you want to do is hold on to yourself even tighter, but in the right situation having someone reach back is amazing.
Hope this helps.Maddie
