Hi (((you)))
I really, truly am a believer in trying to heal without retraumatizing!
If you were doing not badly & the digging is causing you to feel worse, I think (my very own personal belief) that it is better NOT to dig.
I have found some of the alternative methods, especially TAT, to be SO gentle & healing & one doesn't even have to know the details of what is being healed.
Please feel free to babblemail me.
Here's a link to a quick demonstration of TAT. There are lengthier versions, some with sentences that you can say. If I wake up feeling awful from bad dreams, I just do the TAT hold for about 4 minutes, if necessary. Often, after a few minutes, I start to think about what I'm going to do - or 'oh jeez, I have to remember to...' etc.
I'm concerned about you. Please let us know how you're doing. We care about you.
xoxo Kath
