I get this. I've a coroners inquest coming up for my sons sudden death and I've been waking suddenly at night with a rising panic feeling along with feeling like i can't get a deep breath. It doesn't usually happen during waking hrs but having said that, it's spilling over in to daytime now and...

I relate too. I asked my trauma therapist about it, and she said it was probably my brain processing while I was sleeping then not fully getting it done before I woke up. I've been off and on Prozac for years but have stayed off it for over a year now hoping to use other therapies to manage...

I will have to talk to my t about knowing when the reprocessing is done and how to manage it more effectively. I've 2 children on the Autistic Spectrum so as you can imagine life is full on 24/7.

I'm on my 6th session of EMDR for CPTSD. I wish I'd never started tbh. I feel so much worse. I couldn't find anything much on Google about side effects so I thought I'd be ok. I have become so much more emotionally disregulated, I feel physically cold and very sleepy during and after a session...
