    Keeping Up with Significant Friendships - Any Tips

    He would probably responded with understanding. I've even told him about some really taboo stuff that I was experiencing at one time in my life, and he was empathetic and didn't jump to any conclusions.

    Keeping Up with Significant Friendships - Any Tips

    I get what both of you are saying. I guess I have a high need for connection due to medical trauma as an infant. I feel like I could open up about that to one of my high school friends. Although the thought still feels scary. It's less to do with him, and more to do with the fact that the trauma...

    Keeping Up with Significant Friendships - Any Tips

    I'm going to stop eating sugar!

    That's great! I'm doing intuitive eating myself. But I say whatever motivates you/works for you is great. I don't believe in the idea that there's one way of eating for everyone. Good luck!!

    Is Visiting Your Child Part Always Bad? An Interesting Experience

    Yes!!! This is what I was trying to convay, but you stated it so much better than me. To me it's not an either or issue. But what you say about the adult part steping in and co-regulating makes perfect sense. To give folks here some context to my OP. I'm a youth liberationist. I guess I'm trying...

    Finding Safe Relationships and Becoming Safe

    I can relate to this at least somewhat. My reasons for developing my lack of connection to others are very different from yours. I felt a vial between myself and others before I entered therapy. It was like the others were just beyond reach. I would interact with people, but deep down feel the...

    I had a very interesting experience today. I was in the kitchen with my attendant. We were discussing what I wanted for breakfast. I wanted a Joe's Special.

    I'll have to think about this. You've given me much food for thought. I've always thought of my numbing/emotionlessnes as related to trauma from my pre-mature birth. The modality of therapy I was in was the only modality I could find that acknowleged the trauma that pre-term infants went though...
