Hi, I’m Juana. I’ve been in therapy for ptsd for half a year. Complex trauma: childhood sexual abuse, more violence, unstable family, war, loss, and more.
I can’t work.
I’m going through somatic flashbacks and having 3x EMDR per week recently.

Sorry to be here. I wish I didn’t need this forum. I wish I didn’t have time to read or write here and was not thinking about my therapy and trauma the whole time. But I do.

Flashbacks are awful. I feel giant hands on my back as if they would tear me into pieces.
