This is one that is hard for me to post to but I will add that everyone else gave great advice.
I have had bad flashbacks. I finally got meds to help slow them down. And I don't share them with my husband. Only therapist and not all with him. It is just too hard to tell all about them.
Some of them I don't understand. The faces of people I don't know, I only know they hurt. Sometimes I just can't move. And I have always had them around my children and husband but they don't know and I hide it from them.
I tell my therapist most of them. It is so hard.
I think being as supportive in a calm way is best. Read all you can and just be there. I don't know the best way you can help. Just letting her know you care and love her no matter what has happened is good.
Again I don't know what else to say and it is a hard topic.
take care of yourself too.
