Hi Mayflower
I think the main thing to realise is that there’s no right or wrong way to deal with the thoughts and feelings you’re having. Please keep trying until you find a method that works for you.
I’m currently training to be a counsellor myself and the training has unexpectedly caused me to have lots of flashbacks and panic attacks related to my abusive marriage and also a sexual assault in my teens.
It was suggested to me to look at Babette Rothchild on You Tube-she suggests that for some people in can do more harm than good to keep revisiting or confronting the traumas/abuse. I’m not saying that’s the case with you but I’m just trying to reassure you that we are all different and that you will, eventually, turn a corner and slowly start to recover.
So be kind to yourself and do what feels right for you.
