I Saw His Face

Thank you Sues. It was just the one night of nightmare/dreaming, so I think I'm OK now, just feeling a little silly. If I can make it through from now until after Easter with only one or two anxiety pills I think I will have made big strides. I wont let him keep his hold on me any longer.

It's normal vigilance behavior to try to keep track of their whereabouts. I do the same thing.

It can be an effective 'prolonged exposure' if we make sure we're calm and well rested before we look the abuser up.

Then, the most important thing...once we look, we keep staring as we say "I am safe. He cannot hurt me ever again..

I have many who love me and help me. I do not have to be afraid of this person anymore. He is just a person" until finally our SUDS rate goes down and we're triggered less.

Thank you all - I feel less like a wacko now than I did before :hilarious:
