It begins today.
I start going through the heavy-duty therapy to combat my PTSD. This is something that I’ve been simultaneously excited and terrified of. I know it’s walking forward. That’s what I’m excited about. I’m terrified to have to wallow back through the muck and the mire of feelings that I’ve tried to bury. I have to go back and remember what it felt like to be abused… that scares me.
I said that I would write here on a daily basis once I started this process and it will go for 8 weeks.
I go to my first session today. So, every day for 8 weeks, I will post here and write, even a little bit (like today) about what’s going on. Because I know that this is something where I’m going to have to do a lot of mental work to achieve.
So, here’s to the beginning…
Which Way to Hollywood? 
Good luck my dear. I’ve had EMDR therapy and most recently, ACT therapy, group therapy, individual therapy, meditation classes, anxiety classes, you name it. It is all helpful, but it is hard work. If you keep with it, you will have success. Please remember to take it one day at a time, be kind to yourself, and surround yourself with a good support system.
Thank you. It’s something that I’ve been working on since 1999. It’s been a long journey and it wound up being a bigger ball than I thought it was…
