Well, it took awhile for me to open up.
I felt like I was giving him pieces and pieces
of the events and not the full event.
There's,
there's one example that
I can say is that
it took awhile,
was being in a CSH unit, we had burn victims come in,
and, one of the triggers
was when I was barbecuing,
I couldn't barbecue because of the,
it would trigger that event in my life
that I experienced,
and my counselor would tell me,
you know,
"you need to barbecue,
"and you need to burn it,"
and I'm like, "One, that's money going out the drain."
"Two, that's going to send me to the hospital, you know?"
And,
it took several months for me
to even be able to light the fire
without having a panic attack
and ending up in an emergency room,
but now I can barbecue.
I don't sit there and look at the meat on the grill
because then it starts triggering,
but I can go and throw it on the grill
and come back later when I know,
okay, flip it, and you know,
get it off the grill,
but, you know, it takes awhile.
