DL--
>>>It's hard to tell how much I have reprocessed. But I
definitely feel like I am making progress. What's a little
hard to take is that when some of the junk gets processed
and mellows out, I am left with myself--and the fact that I
need to learn new ways to see myself and to approach
life. At one point I just assumed if I got the bad stuff
talked out I would be "cured" !! Not so-just uncovered
things that can be even harder to look at because they
are rooted in my thought processes!I can answer questions if you have any.<<<
Thank you. I do have questions. Would you email me at your convenience? 67phyl@excite.com I 'know' that this is what I need to do. I have had one session, two years ago, which was one of the breaking points for another descent into the black hole.With medication and support I have been at my most functioning in years for a couple of months now. I am ready to tackle that next chunk of personal work.
I am just scared I guess and it helps me to hear what it's like (I know it's different for everyone) before I begin again. I know it is not a cure but if it can make these past traumas 'tolerable' (processed perhaps?) then I will definitely do it. Again, thank you for sharing this me. It does help to know I am not alone in going after the repressed demons of past traumas.
