    Feeling Lost and Hopeless: What Can I Do?

    Hello. My heart hurts when I hear those familiar emotions. One thing I noticed is you have a faith. There are many of the Psalms that are called lament Psalms. David and others are feeling and wondering where God is. However, at the end of his complaints and tears he starts to remember who God...

    Higher frequency therapy

    Healing is slow. It is a journey, I have been told and not a destination. Someone said to me. “ I am not what I used to be. I am not what I want to be, I am not what I will be , but thank God I am what I am.” I for one have to rest in that fact and not ruminate over the past, not worry about...

    How do you deal with hurt?

    You are dearer than you know. You are on the right track and you may not know it fully, yet. These side issues and distraction s do get us off course. We need to discern better than we do. I think of so many situations I could have avoided. But even the negative experiences are great teachers if...

    How do you deal with hurt?

    I get her comment but tying forgiveness ??? Maybe the book None of These Disease is her reference??? When I first became aware from my T that I had no healthy core or that settled sense of self.

    Significant others similarity to abuser

    I have not thought of this until recently. My spouse is not an abuser in the true sense of the word but I married him because of his stability and appearance of having his life together. Great guy But. His personality and emotional interactions are too familiar. Withdrawn. Not social. Never...

    How do you deal with hurt?

    I had a therapist tell me something that helped. Stay in the pool of pain. Don’t deny it as that invalidates you. Let your emotions out. They are real, I could never stay there as it would turn to resentment and bitterness. I do not know how each individual gets to forgiveness of self and others...

    Our Future With AI

    Just heard The Daily post of an interview with “The Godfather of AI Has Some Regrets.”It is well worth a listen from the inception in the 50’s until now. I am unsure how to send but will try. It is dated May 30 the and well worth the time. It will give a concise progression. I hope you can...

    Our Future With AI

    Life goes on but so does death. It may be extended by AI but we all die. Does this really matter in the grand scheme of things. Each of us has to deal with that issue trying not to fall into a ditch of moroseness and despair. I am old . If fortunate or maybe not I have just a few years. What has...

    Our Future With AI

    Have you considered we are already enslaved to technology? These are good questions. I see all of this as on a spectrum . I personally have been working to extricate myself from so much dependence. I find the convenience and rapid response away of life. I have tried to separate the positive from...

    Living inside my head while putting on a happy front

    My heart goes out to you. This may be unrealistic but can you afford to move to another state?Are there relatives in another state? For me reading this I would want to be in a safe place. There are domestic violence safe houses available for you where they often have group sessions to get you...

    Our Future With AI

    I agree with Anthony. It is a new frontier and I already had surgery with robotics. It is going to be so beneficial for science, engineering, medicine and so much more. The question on my mind and the government’s mind is regulations. It is still a question that needs to be addressed globally...

    Part of the 12 step program... never been in it ...is making amends wherever possible. When are your volunteering amends going to be enough?If at all possible direct the amends to those you hurt.

    Limitations of PTSD Labeling

    Thank you that is freeing. I thought from all that was said that when you are newly diagnosed there would be that tendency. However, as we grow in knowledge and skills that goes by the the wayside. I don’t use it as a badge and on two fingers count the people that know. This is an internal...

    Am I just "lucky" with finding Therapists?

    All of the above. Sales makes you ask questions, active listen, gauge responsiveness and look at if they are a good client. Sales makes you an active listener. In this case your need is being assessed by you as to whether they can meet your needs. Just the opposite in sales ... you listen to...
