It has been a week since my big story telling session. That was a heavy day.
Next appointment: tomorrow.
Seems like a perfect time to reflect back on the week.
On the day after the therapy I felt as if I had been to a university exam and a funeral on the same day. Since then there have been significant changes:
Sleeping: deeper/ better. Feels so good to wake up refreshed.
Overall mood: generally happier/lighter
Attention span: short and scatty. Well, my brain does have a few big files open and programmes running.
PTSD symptoms: worse.
Hypersensitivity. 2 new nightmares. Flashback. Tinnitus.
I'm optimistic and have been reassured that as I tell my stories over and over again, my PTSD symptoms will gradually decrease.
It feels so good to have told and re-filed the story that has been festering in my head for the past 37 years. So glad to have this opportunity of such powerful therapy.
