Confident
Hello- I am new here. I am a nurse in a leadership role. I have stable relationships and an wonderful wife (I’m a woman as well). I was lucky to get some pretty fantastic therapy in my late teens/early 20s. I worked really hard and an outsider wouldn’t know that I still struggle with flashbacks. I have accepted that some of my trauma will still affect me but I have the skills to manage it.
2020 was hard on me and lead me back to therapy. To be clear- I am not working on a COVID unit but COVID added a new level of stress to my work and life.
Recently I had a really intense flashback during intimacy. I am so frustrated because I thought I had this handled. I didn’t think I needed help with this part of my trauma. I’m disappointed in myself to have this pop up.
