As mentioned before, I am going through Dr Tessler’s Fight or Flight Light Therapy to help treat my PTSD. I did the initial 30 sessions of light therapy with my first light filter and came back to his office for a “check up”.
At the check up, I repeated my initial tests described here. My circle had “widened” outward by about an inch. Not much, but it is progress. This means that I can handle stress a bit more.
Changes that I’ve seen? It’s hard to tell what are “true” changes, not something good that has happened once and won’t be repeated again. Some possible changes are my ability to organize my life better. I was able to organize my child’s birthday party. It was still a challenge, but I was more focused on what had to be done, rather than totally overwhelmed by everything going on. Was this just a good day? I don’t know.
Another possible change I’ve seen is that I’ve been able to visualize a schedule for my homeschool day. Normally, my brain couldn’t wrap itself around what a schedule would look like. I had no idea where to start. This year, I can better visualize it and came up with one easily.
I went home with another light filter – a yellow-green one – and will do 30 more sessions before my next check up.
