Trauma Therapy Session 16: Post day 6. Back to processing, back to learning.

Post Trauma Therapy Session 1: Things are often not as bad as you imagine.
So having spent a week doing an amazing job of frankly winding myself up and worrying about this therapy session it was definitely not as bad as I expected. I didn’t slam the laptop shut and walk out of the room. I didn’t throw up (although avoiding breakfast might have helped with that), I didn’t…
