1 I was told once by a therapist that you can gauge progress if the event in question (whatever it is) happens less often and with less intensity. She said things do not just disappear, but the timespan between events stretches out and the events are less intense when they do come. I hope that is the case for you. And I think it is progress that you answered the neighbors that way and did not feel the pang at that time. Sending love and support and hoping you have a lovely summer.
