    Medical Illness and Trauma

    😍 Thank you. I will reread the book. My mind is coming to the point , as you said, carry on. I am beginning to think as you so aptly wrote that is the case .The strange part of all is I have so worked through the trauma. I am pretty asymptomatic and the skills I have learned and utilize keep me...

    Does it ever get better?

    I am not a therapist but discerning between being triggered and a truly normal fight or flight situation is important. For me, that situation warranted a reaction such as the one you had and are having.Someone tried to kill you with no remorse. Plus, the situation never resolved and that person...

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    It has been since May since I wrote that. I just realized I did the “good bye girl” routine again with a legitimate reason as driving distance. I just left a loving pastor and church and the inbuilt response to group dynamics no one would have guessed in a million years. I have isolated and we...

    Im I a bad friend for speaking up for her 3 year old?

    I did feel ganged up on and threatened but I chose not to contact as it does not feel safe. If I get banned then so be it. So many I love from afar. I was totally unaware of the contact tag.

    Art therapy - share your work here

    It is amazing you just wrote this as I was looking at the idea on line of using more dimension with ephemera, buttons etc. I have only done 3 pieces and can envision totally what you are saying. Thank you for taking the time. It truly is art therapy for me. Fish totally intrigue me. That is all...

    Rejected therapist woke up and chose to attack boundaries, again

    You did all the right things. But it still leaves a residual creepy feeling. If she persists you can get a restraining order. Fear is debilitating. Hope you can find some way of getting a handle on this.😞

    Living with abusive parents

    I was thinking about this today and as early as I remember my stepfather communicated with me abusively. Of course in the way the story goes I bonded in adult life with the same type of person. It eventually, as the cycle of violence goes, escalated into me being hit over the head with a board...

    Im I a bad friend for speaking up for her 3 year old?

    At the top of the website under articles. It helped me very much. I am rarely triggered anymore as I made note and worked the suggestions. I will say when my jaw becomes tight and my chest tightens, shallow breathing, palms sweaty, and racing thoughts and impulse to speak it is time to move on...

    Im I a bad friend for speaking up for her 3 year old?

    Wow! That was a scathing post. Maybe a rephrase? Education? She was wrong but obviously triggered and needs clarification. She was projecting.

    You sound like you have are very successful in your approach and being an athlete at your level is helpful. Sounds like this totally works for you. You are fortunate to have those kind of friends and commraderie.

    If people are laughing, they are laughing at me...

    We care because we are genuinely broken from the long journey of mental emotional and physical abuse. We believed lies. It is a process to get to the truth about yourself and build that truth into healing so the paranoia is dealt with. For me it was in facing the truth that brought healing and...

    If you could go back to when you started therapy, what one piece of advice would you give yourself?

    Tell me the permanent side affects of this medication that creates new neural pathways. You did not disclose that to me and I can not go off of it for the rest of my life as it causes Parkinson’s symptoms.
