sounds hard.
I don't know what the right answer it. I think that part of it is learning when the "freeze" reaction to terror is appropriate and when the "run" reaction to terror is appropriate.Can you practice on more general scenarios first, like what you would do if you were mugged? Then gradually work in the characters involved- like child-Daisy is being mugged, then child-Daisy is being mugged by present-day dad, then by former-dad...
you can learn from yourself- what is it- the violence? the fear of freezing? the shock of the abusive situation.
I think that your mind is trying to protect you, and it's OKAY to take your T along with you (even if you're grumpy with him). T has been there all along. He's your witness, remember? He's not there to MAKE you do anything or correct you if you do something "wrong". T is there to support you. That's his job.
When you're ready to fly solo you will fly. Little birds probably look pretty goofy flying, but they don't have a net. you CAN do this, but maybe your feathers are still growing?
