For  over  a  year,  I  took  my  CDs  with  me  when  I

               traveled… just in case. I did not need them. That
               phase was over.

               As most people do, I have a nightmare occasionally.

               I usually fall asleep as soon as I put my head on my
               pillow and sleep soundly. I wake up refreshed.

               Some       Brain      Hemisphere        synchronization

               recordings from Centerpointe are now available on
               Youtube. I don’t know if they are as effective as the
               CDs, but it’s a start. Use headphones.




               Flashbacks

               Let’s talk about flashbacks. I wonder if this is why
               therapists  warn  people  that  they  will  never

               completely  heal  from  PTS(D).  You  never  know
               when one of those flashbacks will be triggered.

               They can be provoked by a light, a sight, a sound, a
               smell, a state of mind…


               One  of  the  first  flashbacks  I  remember  having
               happened when I found myself at the same level of
               tiredness  I  had  experienced  when  I  was

               incarcerated, as we were kept in a state of sleep
               deprivation.
