WDaddy Intervention Needed

I have PTSD about a severe hand injury. I still breakdown crying 2-3 times a year at the glance of my hand. I can look

at my hand 1 million times throughout the year but there’s a handful of times that causes flashbacks. The pain and emotion become just as real as the moment it happened.

I just let it happen and then move on. I know it’s just my mind dealing with the trauma and I don’t let it go beyond that.

Ask about EMDR. Usually works well and quicker than most talk therapy. Of

I've seen some pretty amazing things happen with EMDR, for sure.
