Well, I've read a few of the trauma diaries...not many...it's not really pleasant reading...and am wondering if I should even bother to work on one. I can't remember anything that happened - I've blacked it all out.
I've gotten conflicting answers from the pros - some say work on remembering, others say leave it be and when you're ready it'll come back in bits and pieces.
Personally, I don't really want to know. I've read the police report, and have lovely nightmares, and thats enough for me. But, thought I'd ask the opinions from people who have actually been there, since I don't have a high opinion of the 'professionals'.
Do you think it would help or should I leave well enough alone? And if I'm supposed to try to remember...is there a way to do it without a shrink? I'm just so not fond of them...
