The skills learned to heal from PTSD are accumulative.
They are similar to lifting weights. If you build a solid foundation over a long period of time, you can stop for a while, then return and muscles have memory.
A daily meditation practice calmed my fight or flight mechanism.
My triggers lost the power of cortisol, adrenaline and the physiological changes.
Triggers did not explode anymore, the storyline stood by itself for the first time.
If my fight or flight mechanism did not fire, trauma had lost its most powerful weapons, fear and panic.
No need to run or avoid triggers anymore.
The thoughts were isolated now, vulnerable, ready to be integrated.
Calm your nervous system using your breath, meditate and learn how to dissipate cortisol and adrenaline.
Practice when it is calm, then apply when all hell breaks lose.
