No, it is not rational, but that is part of the disorder. Her mind is reliving the past experience every time she sees those shirts just like it's happening right then and there not six months or a year prior. If she was able to control it, she wouldn't have the diagnosis.

Thank you for that explaination, Dr. Angel.

It's certainly not my specialty, but it always makes me SMH when people try to apply normal brain function to abnormal brain function. And, everybody is different. My husband is deathly afraid of heights. I am completely indifferent. He really cannot control it. When we went to the top of the Tokyo Tower, I thought he was going to pass out. He turned into a limp noodle. It was kind of funny, although I do feel a little sorry for him. He is so afraid, even though cognitively he knows that he is perfectly safe.
