Basically, a counselor has you play the traumatic scene as a movie in your head, over and over.
PSTD is not just a Veteran’s issue. I live it nightly in nightmares, does some idiot think I want to relive it during the day too? I am the Mother of a Viciously Murdered Child by a Sociopath who ambushed and beat him to death with a 2 ft section of Fence Post, just for the jollies to see what it felt like to kill. 6 parole hearing to eke out 10.5 yrs of a 20 yr sentence. You never forget or ‘get over it’. I see it in 3D way to many times in nightmares.
I was in this program for awhile. It did not help me one bit. In fact I felt worse while attending the sessions.
