    Safety and Recovery - #1 the belief that we are responsible for our trauma - #2 that is was our fault.

    OliveJewel, Thank you so much. I am still at peace inside. Somehow, someway, I found peace in the abyss. What I understand is accurate to me. What you understand is accurate to you. Our communication hinges on our ability to look at what we both understand, openmindedly, as we look to our own...

    Doubting If Trauma “Counts” - Overcoming Self-Doubt in Validating Childhood Sexual Abuse Trauma

    I appreciate your reaching out. You described, almost to a T, what my life was like. Emotions telling me one thing, unable to communicate my experiences to people because no one could understand me, what I was describing. And my emotions were not an accurate reflection of my present environment...

    Safety and Recovery - #1 the belief that we are responsible for our trauma - #2 that is was our fault.

    In replying with my past and present understandings, I forgot to reply to your questions. I would like to understand the copyright circumstances you asked us to read. I don't understand them. I tied reading the information provided, but I don't understand. The core beliefs I would like to...

    Safety and Recovery - #1 the belief that we are responsible for our trauma - #2 that is was our fault.

    Thank you so much for reaching out to me. My poor brain has been processing as fast as it possibly can for 4 months now and although I understand more about where I am, and I understand I am completely safe now, I have a lot to learn about how to facilitate physical, mental and spiritual...

    Hi Janet, Nice to meet you. Am not familiar with a painful stage of EMDR. I had been in talk therapy, of various types, like Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a few others for 37 years. I had been to quite a few mental health hospital stays over about 33...

    Safety and Recovery - #1 the belief that we are responsible for our trauma - #2 that is was our fault.

    The core beliefs I would like to discuss are #1 the belief that we are responsible for our trauma, that is was our fault. #2. The fundamental belief that there is something wrong with us. A long time ago, I sought professional help from a trauma treatment facility. They explained that our...

    Sufferer Paralyzed in Shock-Fear for 52 Years, EMDR 5 yrs ago, + 37 of therapy = At Peace! SAFE!

    I completely understand these concepts are very deep, it takes time for me to process as well. I have written, and written, and written. I process by writing, among thinking, feeling, and other things. : ) It helps me understand me. I am open to all suggestions and questions. I want you to...

    Sufferer Paralyzed in Shock-Fear for 52 Years, EMDR 5 yrs ago, + 37 of therapy = At Peace! SAFE!

    Thank you for your inquiry. I am fairly sure you have not seen it because this may not have happened to anyone before. I am not sure why it happened to me precisely, like step by step this is what I did to integrate. But I have been at this 37 years, every ounce of knowledge I have accumulated...

    Sufferer This is the first support group I’ve tried…

    Welcome. I only found this place very recently and for me, it is not always that I hear what I need to, sometimes just knowing I can say what I feel to someone who cares that is what I find helpful. I am glad you found this place. And I hope you feel at peace soon.

    Getting punished for someone else's actions

    The way I have resolved these types of conflicts is by setting the following boundary with others. Although I understand and know everyone has a right to change their mind, being disrespectful is not a right anyone has, for it is wrong. I also understand that everything that happens to someone...

    Getting punished for someone else's actions

    I would like to make sure I understand what you are going through. I want to explain what I understand you are saying and please let me know if I am correct... What happens to me, and this has happened too many times to doubt for me. I understand where I am coming from. I know what I mean, and...

    old friends, isolation

    Sufferer Paralyzed in Shock-Fear for 52 Years, EMDR 5 yrs ago, + 37 of therapy = At Peace! SAFE!

    Hello. Like many here with childhood stuff, I suffered immeasurably for decades. After weekly therapy for 37 years, some 20 hosptial stays, and EMDR therapy, somehow, I learned how to use the tools I learned in EMDR to access my sub-conscious to explore the conflicts that existed there. It took...

    old friends, isolation

    I understand where you are. I have been there. I tried everything I could to figure out why I was experiencing 100% full blown anxiety with no present apparent reason, in the present, and had been that way for 52 years. I have had no friends, I mean like close friends for a long time now, and I...
