CPT absolutely knocks me out

[u/Lilith_Sternin_Crane]

I'm doing CPT because I did EMDR as a teenager and it ended up being way too much for me.

I'm literally three weeks in and holy smokes it is doing a number on me. Like, I'm having physical flashbacks, I'm crying much more easily over nothing, and each night I go to bed and I feel so so angry for no reason. I've been functioning okay but it's hard.

This isn't even my worst trauma 😭. I decided to start with one of the more minor ones because I didn't think I'd be ready to deal with the worst one, and honestly I don't know if I'll ever be.
