Can you talk in private to the therapist running the group? I don't want to see your therapy suffer but putting yourself in that position may be more harmful than productive.

See if you can change to individual therapy, instead....get hypnotherapy or EMDR, if you can. See if you can get out of that particular group.

Or, just shut your eyes, if you can, and do self-hypnosis. Imagine yourself in your own quiet, safe, private place, with a safe guardian/protector or friend with you, so the flashbacks stay away. If asked why you do it, you could tell the group about your PTSD openly, so they will know how difficult it is for you to be in that group!

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
