joeygn72 just a thought...everyone tells you to close your eyes when you are trying to relax. The bodyworker guy I see suggested that I keep my eyes open and breathe through my mouth. Although this doesn't come naturally to me (I have a tendency to curl up, cross my arms over my chest, and close my eyes), I am finding that it makes me feel MUCH safer and I can even breathe through some flashback stuff. Might be worth a try for you? BTW, I can only get through about 3-5 myself :)
