Does trauma therapy reopen old wounds, or does it help them heal cleanly and completely?

Short answer: it can stir things up short term, but you can control the dose. Agree with your therapist on a SUDS ceiling you won’t cross in-session, say 6/10, and write it on a notecard to show when you’re near it. Define what 6 feels like for you so you share the same reference. Keep the card in your hand so you can flash it without speaking. If you hit the ceiling, pause, do grounding, and resume only when you’re back under it. If you tend to minimize, ask your therapist to check in every few minutes with a 0 to 10 prompt.
