I was reliving my trauma at the time and haveing a very painfull panic attack along with the racing thoughts and what ever else was going on inside of me att the time and had my therapist guide me dowen an elevator it worked really well, but have tried some recently with the same guy and it has only helped relax my body not my mind or soul.
