Flashbacks have returned

Specifically, my emotional, maybe, mental, flashbacks.

I do not have visual flashbacks, to my knowledge, for the most part. Whether that is a blessing or a curse, I really do not know.

In terms of treatment options, visual flashbacks have more options available. They are, in some ways, easier to reframe for meaning to be less impacted by them.

Please understand – Flashbacks of any type are HORRIBLE!!!!

That said, my brand of flashbacks may not stop until I have safe, secure housing. Or until my trauma stops. Stopping my trauma from overtaking me in any way is a feat akin to climbing all of the stairs of the Empire State Building. Nope!!!

Shared trauma makes it all worse, more intense, more devastating and far harder to overcome in a relationship. Sometimes, it may not even be possible.

That is where I am at. Is it even possible to salvage our relationship with the shared trauma we endured in?

Be well!

Stay as safe as you can! -R
