How long will it take before I am post flood and fully recovered from emotional disorders and addictions?
A You can become post flood in a few weeks to a few months. This depends on your situation and how much effort you are able to put into using the self help and on whether you have already begun to speed up the detoxification process in other therapies or by dietary changes. There is what I call the muddy basin period after becoming post flood, which can last a good year or more, or perhaps will linger indefinitely. During this time your anger when triggered in current interactions will have less and less to do with the past and more to do with the current interaction. When it is mostly about the current interaction it is very important not to stuff it, but to recognize and release it. Otherwise you may re-experience symptoms. Continue to use the self help measures and calmly confront in current interactions if you feel it is appropriate.
