That can happen as you ask yourself questions...

Did you 'discover' something that was true all along or did the process of hypnotism... Make it so?
Is there any way to tell?
Remembering is an activity that is done in the present...
The stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our lives...
Maybe because...
We think we need to justify present distress to others (so they can accept us) and to ourself (so we can accept us).
I did that...
I wanted to do that...But I'm not sure how much making and remaking and reremaking the past helps me deal with the present or if really it is about...
Running away from the present and reliving the past
Repetition compulsionTalking about me...
