    Sideways, I am going to attempt this tomorrow with my wife, I can not do this alone, just the thought is giving me unwanted feelings. I will do my best but I also have a fear of letting my T down, and my wife said no, I need to focus on what I can do, uncharted waters...Thanks for your insight.

    I do not know what grounding skills are, she has never said "grounding skills" This is all so new to me but I feel like this treatment is a bit aggressive.

    My Psychologist wants me to vist a place that triggers me, Why?

    I am in something I do not understand, and I do not think she has given me anything but go to marinate in your trigger and remain there until you are good...I cannot see how that will help me
