Hi dlross -

I think I see what you mean. I was thinking this morning I'm not titrating - meaning, I'm not regulating exposure, I'm just going full bore at it. Which very quickly can become too much.

What I was thinking was using sensations to ground, then be with the feelings a bit, then ground, and go back and forth. Like you say, touch and go. That's a very nice way of saying that.

Usually I can stay with things, or at least the aversion to staying with things, but flashbacks, I'm finding, are just a little different. It's good to have a way to be with things to the extent I can without getting overwhelmed.

Anyway, it's nice to meet another meditator who has PTSD - doesn't seem like there are a lot of us out there.
