No nurturing. She didn't know what that meant, I think. So I am trying to undo a reflex that has been reinforced by traumas over the years. Self soothing helps, but you can't take a body pillow with you...

Thanks for responding. So bad you have to go through that. My T has given me some tips and I take Xanax PRN, She said to visualize a calming place, take deep breaths and tell myself that the body is getting the wrong message (Fight or Flight reaction).

This all has helped somewhat but not completely. I still get them and I get them at work so have to gulp my Xanax on the sly.

I wondered if there was any magic trick that I was missing. Guess not.
