I wish you all the best be well andalusia we be free from our suffering caused by our traumas...

No I am actually a very positive -upbeat and upfull person! Its neither nor good or bad,it just is, and things will change one way or another,as does everything. Speaking of which the definitions and beliefs and ideas of what trauma is will be changing too( radically I would bet)as they have...

Thanks for your response abstract. I am actually saying trauma is an addiction, and true too point my verbiage is lacking a clear expression of what it is I am feeling and then trying to convey verbally. I can say this though, in my experience I am living in an extremely trauma based society...

By the way if you are continually engaging in harmful thinking and want to stop, would you even consider that addictive?

Hi Samantha yes one of the things you do is apologize for harms you have caused, I can only speak for myself but in traumatized states I have caused hurt do to reacting to my fear that arises when triggered Also I do not continue to blame or beat myself up but in truth when I am triggered and...

This right now is feeding addiction so I would politely ask that we end our conversation and wish that we both be free from the suffering form our traumas. Thanks

Gotcha sorry about that.

For me I got inflicted trauma- whatever the chemical reaction happened to my body created a craving to those chemicals released. So as I child I was always injuring myself physically always putting myself in harms way- then as a teenager I began to trauma my body with blackout binge drinking...

Sorry to have triggered you. I do understand your aversion to certain people on 12 step fellowships- its hard to explain what I am saying but I can tell you If you were attracting people who traumatized you that is exactly what I am talking about.that it I a very cunning addiction. And yes...
