Thank you, gg :)
i took a mental health (literally) break and finished the book while working with my pdoc through the
PTSD "terror episodes" i've been experiencing. ->*whew* the things that have been released to be healed. Know much about "body memories" ?Yes, "People of the Lie" turned out to be a good book and helped immensely. i was a little taken aback at the term "Human Evil" at first, because all my life i have directed my perceptions of my mother and my childhood in terms illness, human compassion, and spiritual transcendence. But the author's term is explained succinctly, and, truthfully was the missing link for me that triggered immense relief. And finally a handle to grip this difficult work i'm healing, that integrates my childhood emotional responses and the interpretations i've been using as an adult to try to find understanding, a personal peace and loving kindness toward my mother. ...i do recommend "People of the Lie". i always like the actual info better than the case histories, as same this book too, but the info was pivotal for me.
When i read Elaine Aron's book "The Highly Sensitive Person" it was like you described for me, too. Isn't it affirming? Glad you brought it up, because i think i will read it again. Thank you for that too.
'Till next~
