Finding my "strengths" is like finding a needle in a hay stack. As per facing my memories...damn my memories carry clubs, guns, and pitch forks! Not to mention Freddie Krueger...

Honestly I am very nervous about starting EMDR. I am scared of whatever it is that I have blocked out to survive. It will be challenging nonetheless.

While studying for an exam today I had a memory of my childhood. A beautiful bird dog was in my path to get to my house. I put out my hand out to show a sign of peace so I could walk past him. He bit me really hard and drew blood. A man that was walking his son home across the street ran...

Music moves me...

Yes yes and YES! I can drive down the road and all of a sudden...poof! Smells, sounds, a sight, a familiar sound etc...
