Thank you Rain for the Van der Kolk article. It was very haunting. Although pretty lengthy too, it brought all (or most) of the conventional and accepted therapies for PTSD in one place. I had a beloved therapist who was intent on bringing desensitization to me. He was eager to have me repeat a traumatic experience 3 times within the session. After the first time, in which I cried so hard I could hardly breathe, he became tearful too, and never asked that again.
