Dinah,
I understand I think about all this. I might have missed part of it. I wrote earlier a long post and then decided not to send it. First I wanted to say that I am one of those that do vomit when someone else vomits. My children, anyone for that matter. But I also faint at the sight of blood.
You know that I too dissociate. Lately for some reason it is beginning again. I only mention this because I am not entirely convinced that it can be totally eradicated from our brains unless we get to a point where we recognize we are truly safe. Like Muffled said you do sometimes perceive trauma when someone else might not. I agree about being too sensitive. The other day I left my chiropractor's office for a time while I was having a treatment and when I came back you know what I mean about leaving only mentally, everything seemed so far away and strange. Now I can't tell you what felt so weird about being there that my mind thought it needed to escape.
That is why I am not sure it can work but maybe it can for your sake. I hope I made some sense because I know what I am trying to say but I can't make the right words come out.
In fact at my chiro's I was practicing new deep breathing techniques. Then wham I was gone, and came back not to long after so it wasn't a long time but still felt weird.
I guess I would if I were you try it and see. I wish you luck and sorry for my rambling.
