You hit it on the head Kay. That is exactly what its all about. Once you come to terms with the trauma, once you accept it and no longer fear your trauma, all the other aspects of PTSD subside quite quickly, leaving only traces and fragments to pickup and work upon... which is the easy stuff compared to dealing head on with the trauma itself.

It really is a matter of once your ready for the ride, jump onboard and ride it out, then be amazed at just how much easier things become. If its not a secret anymore, it can't continue hurting you!
