@Zoe7. It's hard at the moment. You have started and stopped a few times before. That's why there has been no healing.
That's why you are trying again now. You want to heal. And you will!!!
I know you feel you are back there - still trapped. That's why it's important to read those notes. And use your safety plan that nik was talking about - the 5 senses.
Because you need to remove yourself from these fears. So the earlier you start focusing on 'here & now' - the shorter the period of pain and fear will be.
Your psychologist believes you can do this. I believe you can do this. As do others on here.
So it's grounding and diversion time tonight. Use your safety plan. Your comfort box. Maybe take your meds now - turn on a soft light - and hop into bed with Toby. With Cat somewhere nearby.
Can you picture a calming peaceful safe image? A lake. Puppies. Kittens. Soft clouds. Try to keep that image in your mind.
I'm right there next to you. See, even Toby came over to me for a pat.
