    Finished My Essay And Handed It In!

    And if it is any help, IMHO any professor worth their salt will WANT to know what you have to say. I certainly would. And you are an exceptionally clear writer.

    Work As A Teacher (for Mature Students)

    My H did this transition and loves loves loves teaching. He turns out to be super good at it and gets tremendous satisfaction out of his students getting really good jobs. The outfit he works for is... a lot less than one might hope, but his program is structured in a way that he is essentially...

    Structural Dissociation - Psychotic 'part'

    I like Scout's approach. Could you believe there is not a place that is not for you? Or rather "wherever you go, there you are." There is no "ought" or "for" about it. Places aren't "for" people. Places are just places. Places are sometimes inhabited by someone. Mostly not tho. Places aren't...

    Structural Dissociation - Psychotic 'part'

    ???? Wild guess on my part! Link? :D:roflmao::hilarious::O_o: I gotta say, I love it when I am right about something! @scout86 We are flying to Iowa. So the car situation once there is a bit up in the air. How long a drive are you from Omaha? My folks are about an hour away (mostly east)...

    News Why It's So Hard To Talk To White People About Racism

    Poll Superpowers Or Personality? Flight V Invisibility

    Ed gives lots of good reasons for only flying in the country! Not a lot of air traffic around here. And not so many power lines. It is not cold flying when it is 100 degrees out! And anyhow, that's what they make thinsulate and gortex for!

    Poll Superpowers Or Personality? Flight V Invisibility

    Flight! (GO FAST WITHOUT WORKING HARD!!! Yay!!!!) PLUS I can do high up stuff without ladders - Oh, does it include hovering? So I could get the mistletoe out of my trees? :)

    So Much Pain

    In the absence of a T - is there a dog around who could hang out with you? I've not been where you are - but always find dogs very very grounding. Sending calming energy.... Once you are out of it... can you try (and I really really mean "can") to talk to that little baby and get her into a...

    If You Didn't Have A Chance To Build A Self Before Complex Trauma

    I didn't have time to read the whole thread, so someone may have said this already. What has helped my H and I with some of our "integration" issues (which might be what you are talking about here, how to make all the bits and pieces of your consciousness cohere into a "whole"?) is an exercise...

    Timelord Victorious; Or My Darkest Side

    Remember that this is the Doctor without companions. He needs NEEDS friends - even the Doctor. Everyone needs friends to keep them honest - to point out what we've lost track of - or never had the self-awareness of to begin with. Your friends can save you from the Time Lord Victorious. It is...

    Relationship First Day Of Counseling

    The most valuable couples sessions we've had were where my H was just awful and apparently not open anything to or listening to anyone. But it is working. So... hang in there.

    General Dealing With The 'explosive' Anger?

    This is what I meant to say: And I would add what our couple's T said to my H the first day of counseling - "If you don't decide to change how you behave in your marriage, at some point it will no longer be your choice."

    General Dealing With The 'explosive' Anger?

    Dr. B. I guess your wife knows a lot about what combat is like. Except the enemy in her war is the guy she loves. When was the last time someone you love tried to strangle you in your sleep? Forgot who you were? Expected you not to be injured because it was them that injured you. Notice I said...

    Dissociation, Disturbing

    Hi Stenni, I write this in hopes of making dissociation and dissociative disorders seem less like the bubonic plague and more like... say gluten intolerance. Plague is an all or nothing thing. No one has a "little" plague. But gluten intolerance... well, some people have full blown celiacs and...

    The Good Stuff

    A cautionary tale... The time I made the wrong choice: When my daughter - then 4 painted the chocolate lab white (with Kilz) . They were happy as clams. He didn't even mind the bath.... He enjoyed that too! Silly dog. (Kilz comes off dogs with Orange Dr. Bronner's soap. It also makes them...

    I Don't Know What Else To Do

    You are not doing anything wrong. They are. Is there another group you could switch to there? (sorry if I'm asking something you've already made clear...) I once had to switch groups actually at the office before the appointment. I spent half an hour on their phone talking to my insurance... but...

    AND another entertainment aside... Because I LOVE that song, and ... well, this is one of the most entertaining .... Doesn't Aretha look great? And although Jake and Elwood (the Blues Brothers in the suits at the counter for those of you who aren't familiar with the movie) are not actually on...
