It's okay to find a strange sense of comfort in them. It maybe connected to a similar situation to the body. It maybe something you're used to seeing so you crave it. It maybe what people are tied to it. Whatever comfort you get from it, it is valid.

It's okay to find them extremely distressing. Even if they did not occur, they are real to you. But despite everything, you are safe. You are away from that situation. You are going to be okay.
