Hi hear you @Oaktree
It takes a toll - past trauma can haunt us - I am dealing with past trauma myself atm - it's hard work and there is no time limit - it can and does go back to childhood
The good news is that
that therapy can help - I've had dental phobia for over 40 years - I don't have problems with fillings - it's about extractions - I would freak out - I had one out a couple of weeks ago and I was totally laid back - something to be ready exciting to relate
It is a battle though - the past can really haunt us
