Daisym,
I know exactly what you mean about shutting down the flashbacks but it is so much better you didn't and had him with you. I Have a recurring flashback that I shut down. It is always the same yet at the same time elements are added. It is coming faster and with increase frequency. I stopped it from coming for a week at night with xanax like i said in my other thread it now comes in the shower or other places during the day. I too am terrified yet I am numb. I wish, oh I wish I had your courage.
You were so amazing to allow your T to do this. He is an amazing t and to help you reach this point is inspiring to me and I am sure others. I know at some point my flashback which I also know is only the beginning, might just overwhelm me. My t and I discussed this, I just hope I have your courage and fortitude. You both are super heroes with special powers.
And thank you for sharing this. And this is when loving a therapist to me is ok. He deserves an award of some kind. What insight and thoughtful. He is special.
