When something happens,
you analyze your options
on how to react to it,
and then you choose the
best one for you
based on your goals
or what you want out of
the situation.
So previously, I would
simply just react
to an event,
and people with PTSD, for
the most part,
we have a heightened level.
We're already at a
heightened level
where we're expecting
certain things to go wrong,
or we're just kind of
already ready
to react to certain
situations.
With CBT, I learned to
kind of slow that down,
and really think about
the way I'm gonna
react to things,
and be, essentially
become my own therapist;
just talk through it
if I need to.
And after a while, it
became more of a habit.
That was my habit to do so,
and now we're
five years on,
and I, I barely notice
that I'm analyzing
things differently,
but if I really
think about it,
I am processing things
quite differently than
I was before.
