Have been on an even keel for a while but all this Jimmy Saville stuff has knocked me

[NeverKnowinglyUnderstood]

is this normal do you think?
it is the first time since graduating from Therapy that I have felt so anxious and fight or flighty..
It has totally triggered my ptsd.
I am emplying the strategies I have learned and trying to keep an even view of things... I am not currently in danger.. I am safe protected and loved..
However I think all this stuff is going to be around for a while to come.. I can't avoid every newpaper or tv news bulletin or conversation in the playground forever...

Any ideas???

hopeful bump

[NeverKnowinglyUnderstood]

thanks... it has just really shaken me... I thought I was now well.. this has knocked my confidence

[NeverKnowinglyUnderstood]

Have been teetering on contacting my old Therapist to see if we could fit in a session, just to bolster my defences... Would that seem wierd to her do you think?

[FarelyKnuts]

I think contacting her for another session is an excellent idea. I would doubt very much she would think it weird. I know rcc and survivor places often have an increase in contacts when there are high profile cases in the media as it understandably can bring up some stuff for people.

[NeverKnowinglyUnderstood]

thanks... will send her an email. what is rcc?

[FarelyKnuts]

Sorry. Rcc is a rape crisis centre.
How are you doing today?

[NeverKnowinglyUnderstood]

quite calm actually... think it may be because it is half term and have loads I have to do with the children here. We are in our own little bubble.. iykwim.

You seem knowledgable about this sort of stuff is it an area you work in?

[FarelyKnuts]

Lets just say it is one I have a lot of experience with.
Glad half term is proving a distraction.
Feel free to PM me anytime if you need someone to talk to as well.
