hi speaker
this may not be right for you, but the best thing that ever happened to me in dealing with those issues was not dealing with them. i know that this sounds like bad advice but for me in hindsight i was getting worse from therapy...i felt like the therapy kept the nightmares etc alive and burning. once i was away from a setting that didnot focus on that stuff it made it so much easier to get a handle on it. i personally feel that sometimes therapy, esp freudian type, can make the problem much worse. don't get me wrong, it is not easy! but i am quite happy about repressing things. what ever you decide make sure you do it safely. maybe you could try therapy that focusses on other issues while weening off completely, if possible?? but it has ended for me, if that is any help.
