Yes, some of the hardest work ever but soooo soooo worth it. True courage is being afraid but not letting that stop you. Had to face something like that (different context), and it took a lot of repetition to de-sensitise.

Thanks. And I want to thank and hug everyone again for your support and kind words. I had no idea I would get such a response. 😭

And I want to point out that it can only be done from a place of safety. Being in a safe place is like the first thing my psych said to me on my first visit.

If there is still a dangerous situation focus on escape or harm mitigation.
