I think this is a load of carp. "exposure" I understand the concept. Veterans like myself have PTSD and I live the event in my dreams almost every night and during the day. I'm not trying to avoid it, it just pops up. So I am "exposed" to it often.
Shaakir Mujahid Abdul Baseer I'm doing this exercise right now for upcoming therapy. for me I do avoid a lot but like you also have frequent bad memories. I'll let you know if it gets better cause right now it's not.
This needs to be facilitated with a therapist -- it's not as simple as the video describes. What you're experiencing is intrusive thoughts, a hallmark of PTSD and can be treated.
