    Why do you feel the need to do this?

    I am sure there is never anyone there and can you not be reassured each time that there isn't?

    Ok very sorry to hear that - must be worrying for you as I can see.

    Can you try and realise now that the trauma is over and you are now safe and no-one is going to get you. Hard I know but that trauma was in your past and has to stay there.

    It won't be easy but each day that you feel safe will add to those positive thoughts.

    Hi Rosie

    I am sorry to hear of what happened in your past sweetie and its understandable that sometimes you feel a little vulnerable , You recognize yourself that the checking that you are doing isnt really needed, can I suggest that you try to break this habbit slighly bit by bit over some period of time , as i think tryin to stop checking all at once may be a little difficult for you.

    So for example if you check behind doors then under the bed , perhaps tonight tell yourself that you will check the doors but you will NOT check under the bed , and remember that what has happened is in the past and that you are SAFE ..... When you have managed NOT to check under the bed for a week then perhaps move on to something else and dont check there either, rememeber this is Just about breaking bad habbits !!

    Once you have started to break the cycle it will become so much easier to allow the negative thinking to pass too, and remember for every acheivment make sure that you get yourself a little reward.

    Good luck

    Michelle

    Good suggestions there - one step at a time and recognizing the problem in the first place was a big leap forward hun. Well done!!
