But like I said, personally forgiveness seems pretty bogus. I'd have to actually be p!ssed at them in the first place. Yes. If Most everything is connected to survival, even the self defeating stuff. I was extremeely self hating. Understanding the purpose or positive intention was...

How does getting angry at yourself affect you?

If I'm understanding you correctly, you don't have have a problem with forgiving because you don't get angry at people who hurt you you get angry at yourself. Is that correct?

I hesitate to respond because you are obviously in a very dark place and it it is presumptuous to think I understand well enough to speak into it to you. " I have ruined my career, ripped apart my future, and I and only I am to blame for that." This statement suggests that you are directing...

I can stop the ringing with relaxation and mindfulness sometimes. Other tines I have to do something active that distracts.

I guess the pain is emotional. Some times it seems like anxiety. I find it harder to turn off. It seems to reach into my brain, making it difficult to think or read or hear. I get fleeting thoughts of suicide and self harm when the pain is bad. At times I've found some relief when I can...

So I a therapist who got triggered by clients. For years I wasn't aware of it. Looking back i suspect it is why some clients stopped seing me and its why i avoided seeing cts with sexual abuse histories, When I became painfully aware of being triggered I took time off, 2 years. Unfortunately...

I recently read "the Shack" it was interesting but was mostly inline with my understanding of God, but presented in an interesting way. I thought it might be more helpful to people who were struggling with why God allows bad things to happen. I more struggle with why it takes so long to get...

I have refused meds from the beginning. Though I do have a couple beer sometimes to take the edge off like some people use ativan. I don't recomend it (to difficult to manage the dose) just being honest. why no meds? I've read to much and seen too much. When some one says they can ballance...

It's just so hard when my H who should know me best hurt me in this way. It was just another message that I need to continue to hide my inner self because my insides are just too confronting and difficult for most people reconcile so they default to denial and minimisation. Sometimes I even...

For me it important that the t is not affected by my story. I have a sence/compulsion to protect them. If I sence empathy the trauma disappears. Therefore cold is better for me. (But being a therapist my self, I think that's weird).
