I have been trying to overcome fear.

I have been trying to overcome fear. My first step was to learn a martial art to protect myself. I have been to three jiu jitsu classes so far, and I enjoyed the first two very much. Except, today I had a horrible flash back while we were working on guard passes. How can I put the things that have happened in my past out of my mind and focus on becoming a stronger person?

Taylor?

What does that mean?

Any real advice?

Really hard to say being that I haven't been through anything traumatic but if something makes you seriously uncomfortable, take a step back. Sit out if you have to. No one will judge you. Then step back in once the anxiety passes. It's a journey :)

Jiu jitsu can't replace counseling. Get some counseling and a support group. Jiu jitsu helps you gain confidence, it doesn't help you cope with past experiences.

There's your real advice Taylor. Lol

The Taylor strikes back! This could get very interesting. lol

Soon we'll hear....."The muthafucking Taylor saga continues"

Ummm, what school is that at? Nobody believes you really exist. Right now your like a ghost boner in the night nudging every ones shoulder.
