What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

Not being parenty or maternal...No! Just askin' because you know that I care @MrMoonlight...have you thought of starting your trauma diary?

Please don't get mad at me...for I'd really be appreciative to know and understand where you've been and what you're now facing...better...if you will. Perhaps you're not ready to do this...I so do understand! Yes! Again, please don't be mad at me. Thanks!

And one of Gordon Lightfoot's songs I used to play over and over again...is: If You Could Read My Mind? I think that's the title of it. I love the lyrics to this song...suits me to a tee! And Satie's song you above-shared is...oh so hauntingly beautiful...and also somewhat...melancholy. And I believe this particular music score has been the theme song to more than one motion picture movie.

Listening now to: Lang Lang: George Gershwin ~ Rhapsody In Blue! Also, Lang Lang/Paavo Jarvi - Conductor: Tchaikovsky ~ Piano Concerto No.1 in B-flat minor! Yay!

Not for a second would I be cross with you..I, one thousand percent believe you really do care and that what you say to others is always colored by that. I thank you for being you.

Starting a trauma diary now may be problematic.

@JadesJewel sorry for bail on a full answer earlier, got a call from a stepfather and was kinda thrown back for a bit.

I feel like I should get the ball rolling in that direction but every time I begin to think about my stuff with intention of critical analysis I quickly derail for 12 hours and descend into nausea, vomiting passing out..etc. Not that dramatic always but up to and including all the things I mention. So I guess the mere fact that I fear that reaction is a problem. sighi

During my first session with my EMDR therapist I got panicked by just approaching the first entry on my trauma log, stuff before the arson...then she asked me what positive things i'd like to see for myself in the future. I near had a panic attack because I don't know what that looks like. We had to stop. The only future I could see ended with one more big trauma and my suicide.

The next session we skipped ahead in the EMDR program to "Installation" so that I could have a safe place to escape to in my mind..along with a key type word I am to say. She helped me get to that place and did the eye thing.

Full stop and point taken jj. this is exactly the content I should be posting to a personal thread no matter what it's called (trauma diary) and how it's used.
