Burning The Past

Lets just say it's been a rough last 2 weeks with flashbacks & nightmares.

I had a golf head cover trigger me about past abuse last week. The head cover had the name of the University on it that I attended when several traumas happened to me.

It took me about 5 long days to get any relief from flashbacks from that time.

2 days ago, I put that head cover in my firepit & gave it a burning goodbye.

The flashbacks have stopped.
Has anyone ever had a similar experience?
 
Yes, when I have reached out on the forum and all you groovy people get my thinking rationally, the flashbacks stop. I've never used any rituals to deal with triggers but it sounds like a great idea. Of course, there's a large house I lived in as a child that I would need to burn down.....
