Early Childhood Trauma And Some Things That Helped Me

[louisenayer]

My parents were severely burned in an accident when I was four--When I turned 42 I had an "anniversary reaction"(my mom was 42 when burned) to this and had severe panic attacks. With the help of many people and a great hypnotist I was able to get a lot better(though took a couple of years). I still play my self-hypnosis tape! I wrote a book over 15 years which helped me go through the trauma(very hard at times) and now I feel quite a bit better though I'm quite anxious and need lots of supports. I'm happy to be in this community--sharing my story and offering help and getting help. Thanks!

That's amazing that you were able to tell your story in a book - I can imagine that's quite therapuetic to do and extremely brave.

Welcome louisenayer,

Oh dear! Such awful things you had to face in life.
I'm pretty new here myself, but there seem to be lot of people with all kind of experiences here who might share something similar with yours. I don't know how to support or what to say. I have some trouble shearing feelings, hugs n stuff like that. ..

Take care

Welcome to the Forum louisenayer,

I am sorry that you had to go thru that with your parents. It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on understanding yourself and your condition qne that is HUGE. You will find lots of support here and lots of opportunity to support others. I look forward to getting to know you ;o)
