    Acceptance of trauma ?

    final statement to every therapist that thought radical acceptance was the last hurdle, the last bridge to cross, the end all with a big bow and a free pass to happiness attached: Okay, i radically accept that I am the result of all my traumas and that cured of PTSD is not a thing. Hope you have...

    And thats another moving target! I think “In memory of Elizabeth Reed” by the Allman Brothers has maybe the greatest ability to just stop me and make me listen, thise guys just sounded like they enjoyed what they were doing and you can envision a shared grin on the back porch on a sunday...

    I don't think my family is good for me

    I think I get it. We are born with an instinct for survival and i think it is more than just a warmth and nutrition thing. Infants want to be interacted with, children want support and nurturing and adults want respect and fair treatment. The desire to be part of the unit and keep our spot by...

    I don't think my family is good for me

    i cant imagine having the disdain for my childrens feelings my parents showed for my feelings. It just isnt there and i cant see how they got there, except it was part of their religion and they were told to hold me in contempt. I guess we were all lucky no one told them they should fly planes...

    mrs. Dosky, third grade. When I handed in all of my spelling assignments for the whole year just a week or two in she was challenged instead of put off by it.

    What made you feel better today?

    saw a movie with good music from way back when i was pre childhood trauma, made me remember things from the better sliver of my life. Good memories in a head usually too full of bad thoughts for the space needed for them is a priceless thing

    What would you choose?

    lighter! wet matches suck, wet lighters dont. One night no moon and no heat was enough, lighters live in tool kits, under front seats, in a couple of pockets in the back packs and at the foot of the sleeping bag. Somewhere, always, a lighter. white gas or propane lanterns/stoves?

    What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

    I found the classic barking dogs doing Jingle Bells on spotify, much to the horror of younger co workers. Digging the guitar solo, the high level of production. Christmas, dogs, disgruntled members of a non appreciative generation, all good. Merry Christmas!
