[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 709075, member: 17269"] Self talk is very helpful right now. So is writing down key responses and putting them on post its where you might need them (near the phone, on your computer)/ Stuff like "that sounds hard." "I'm sorry to hear that." "that must be hard for you" "I'm sure you'll figure it out" "no" "no" "no" "not today" "that sounds rough, but I know you'll figure it out" "no". It does get easier. Believe it or not, eventually you will get to the point where you have hours and even days without addressing it in your head. You yourself have come through trauma...it takes time to process and there are different stages. Right now you are vigilant and hyperalert. That is OK. It also ebbs and flows. Its always a set back for me when my son is on the lam, and I know I might see him in town. I relax more when I know he is in jail or hospitalized. Who thought I'd ever say THAT?? Stay close to the board. Post your thoughts. This is the power of the forum Good luck and holding you in my thoughts today, Echo [/QUOTE]
