That is exactly the idea Amy... People spend so much time hiding all their trauma and trying to reduce their symptoms, that they don't understand that by exposing your brain to the trauma, allowing and accepting symptom increase to occur, that it is short term pain for long term gain. Your brain removes its wall of denial, suppression, secrets even, and begins to release the negative emotional components within. Once you get rid of them, once you get past that initial worst stage, it does get easier to continue, as you would be finding.It became that by increasing some of the symptoms now I can move ahead.
The initial stages of breaking through trauma is the worst, and for some, often worse than living the trauma in the first instance.
