    Does Anyone Else Have Trouble "learning The Rules" For Boundaries?

    @Solara, I couldn't have said that better myself. @Zenab, it is like a dance that so many of us never learned the steps to. I wonder if that is what it is like for all of us or just those of us with childhood trauma. I can't remember being any other way.

    Behavior Awareness... Changing Them

    I think this way too, that I am isolating myself so that I don't hurt others but then I see the opposite is also true. If I don't let anyone in then I don't get hurt by them. It is a two edged sword, I tell myself the one thing because I feel like I am selfless but in actuality it is just...

    Google Maps Street View To Stroll Down Memory Lane.

    I use it all the time, not just for memories but to find my way around in places I have never been before. When I don't have a navigator to a new place the landmarks on the map are great. I admit I have used it to try and find the place where the trauma started but shortly after I moved from...

    Flashbacks, Nightmares And Body Memories

    Congratulations! On both the birth of your baby and for getting clean. I have gone through the body memories and flashbacks. For me, the only way to have them ease up and become a part of my past rather than intruding on my present was to just go through them and acknowledge that they...

    Sexual Assault Never Thought It Would Happen To Me

    I am so sorry for what you have gone through. I wish I could say something that would make it easier but I know there just isn't right now. If you can find it where you are call a crisis line. The one that is here is staffed by great people that are great at listening and at being there with...

    Almost Afraid To Write How I Feel!

    I am so sorry for what you are going through. I wish I knew what to say or do that would help but I don't. I am not in quite the same situation but that could change in an instant and I do think about it. I have no one I could count on to help. Your son is young and otherwise healthy, if he...

    Sexual Assault Terror In Childhood Sexual Abuse.

    I wasn't abused at home, it was a stranger abduction when I was a child. I write it out and other people felt the terror when they read it but I couldn't. I felt so detached from it and yet I would have nightmares and feel terrified of something I couldn't recall when I woke up. There were...
