I chose the name ground crew as that is what I did in the service, I fixed planes. Cool jet fighters.
I am a life time trauma kind'a guy-much to my surprise! I had a early trauma, random violence....threat of life kinda day when I was 4, so that set the stage for an interesting childhood.... Pieced that tidbit together in EMDR. there were interesting items from childhood, seemed such a normal life at the time....
And as bad as I had it, after reading some of these other stories, I really got off easy. Still, I got my share, I got enough.
i have been living in the nicest neighborhood, and there is little to startle me here. I forgot what hyper vigilance was for a while. Then I went to Oakland. All the radars came up and I was back. So don't worry, the spidy sense and the fast reflexes remain even after effective therapy.
