I just realized again, that some of the definitions of some of my words are not correct again. I want to take this into therapy on my next session.
I just went through something that I saw as a verbal attack but in truth it was harrassment and I did not realize my error at the time and have been thinking about this for awhile.
I have been speaking english as my only language all of my life but I am realizing my use of some words are so oppossed to each other that it does affect some of my perceptions.
I am hoping that this makes sense. I am feeling confused and bewildered at the stark difference between the two words that are so different from each other and need a dictionary more now than ever.
Has this every happened to you and how did you cope with the realization? Is this a rare occurance or a very common thing? I was physically attacked as a child so it is a very loaded word for me. I have felt verbally attacked as well in my life.
The feeling is being caught off guard and overexposed and defensefess and powerless so it is a triggering event for me. I can trace it back to my abusive parents and I have not yet been able to discover where I confused the two words.
Your thoughts? Thank you.
