    Do We Ever Get To Stop Dealing With Trauma In Therapy?

    I think many ,many people have not been taught critical thinking skills…many in this new generation in the US. I also think many in the US have low Emotional IQ.

    I Have No Words For This Experience - My dad used to kill my pets in front of me in a violent way, implying I would be next.

    Wow! I am so sorry that you were faced with this when you were so little and it has stayed with you all these years. And yes the feeling you would be next was the message any child would receive.

However, as Lionhearted shared he just loves others. That is an issue with many of us as we realize on our journey that we can’t...
