Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I keep circling the same image and the same feeling without anything shifting
- When I bring the memory up it’s still as vivid and loud as the day it happened, like no time has passed at all
- Last time a memory finally felt settled, but the week since stirred things up
- My head says I’ve dealt with it, but my body didn’t get the message
- I know I need to face the memory eventually, but the moment I get near it I get pulled all the way under
