Elle,
Thanks for bringing this up. If I had to deal with this, I would go ahead and pick a strategy of how to discuss it with the therapist. One strategy might be to point out how the "shadow" of the trauma continues to "blackmail" me, leaving me frantic (or however it makes you feel), and ask the therapist for a suggested strategy to reduce the effect. ...just how I might do it.
"Blackmailing" feelings make me distracted and mess up any decisions I am trying to make. I feel as if I am actually another person looking back at a gimpy me. It's truely icky for me.
The good news ain't from Gieco this time. Its that I haven't been a victim of this "blackmail" in about 15 years. So you CAN get past it.
Best of luck........
Rod
