About

You are perhaps here because something arrives uninvited and there is nothing you have found that reliably stops it once it has started. Most people have tried a great many sensible things by the time they reach me, and the failure of those attempts has usually been interpreted as a personal shortcoming. It was not. Flashbacks do not respond to the strategies that work on ordinary difficult thoughts. That is exactly why sensible efforts fail, and why a different approach is needed rather than a greater quantity of the same one. We use methods built for this specifically. They are not intuitive, which is why nobody arrives having invented them independently. I left research for the room some time ago, and I retain a strong preference for using the tool built for the job at hand. If everything sensible has failed, that is informative rather than damning.
