I think flashbacks can be body sensations, and smells as well, like what you are describing.

yoga helps a lot. Tara Stiles has a new DVD out at Walmart and I love it for de-stressing. She is also on youtube with a channel and has good tips and stretches on there was well.

I am the same way. It is hard to accept it and I am still not really even there yet- at least not fully.

When I first started working out two years ago, I hated burpees and completely sucked at them. Now, they still are not my favorite, however, they are easier to do and I love the results they give.

T: Wow, this was a good session. You didn't dissociate for the whole session like you usually do.

I feel the same way you do for the most part. My brain feels high/light headed a good portion of the time. It seems hard to get it to stop. Mediation helps at least when I can do it. Sticking to a routine seems to help it from happening as often--sort of.

to be nice to myself and try to relax.

Well, my husband was the abuser and I left him. My Mother tries to be supportive but doesn't read up on PTSD. But overall she is understanding. My brother is very understanding of the situation. But I don't enjoy being around my family anymore. I was just thinking about this, this morning...

I didn't panic the first couple of sessions but I also wasn't diagnosed with PTSD at that time. I started therapy because I had literally just left the abusive relationship and knew I needed therapy to help me not return to that situation. The panicking has only started two months ago or so. I...

I get panic attacks before and during therapy as well. Glad I am not the only one.

I put no. But I have thought about it many times and I have urges to cut myself. I have actually cut myself several times. The urges are not lasting as long as they were before.

I push everyone away and at times I don't even realize I do it and other times I pick up on it. Anytime of relationship for me is hard to manage whether it be family, friends, or co-workers. It is very tiring.

Olaja-- do you do the phone sessions with the same T? <Quote above reply removed by Amethist>

I have felt numb for the past four months. I think I am getting closer to feeling again, but it is frustrating not to be able to cry or enjoy feel joy.

I do the same thing!

Welcome to the forum. I can relate to always looking over your shoulder. I do the same thing.

I worked at Walmart on Black Friday night as a cashier and while we didn't have fights break out- the stuff coming out of the shopper's mouths was horrible. Customers were standing in line threatening other customers that if they got in front of them in the line that they would "cut them". Are...

Yup sounds like my husband who I recently left. Wish I had heard of the book sooner.

I do have a therapist but still am having a hard time opening up about anything. So, really I am not dealing with it. I do a lot of self education on PTSD though, and visit the forum often.

Welcome!
