TwinLeaf,
>>By this he means having a misattuned mother during the first two years of life- one who isn't sensitive to the infant's changing needs- who may be intrusive one moment and detached the next. It's not what anyone would ever be able to remember, although we can all remember similiar behaviors happening years later. He feels that these misattunements cause major unfavorable changes in the baby's developing right hemisphere. He also feels that repair occurs in the moment-to-moment interchanges which occur in relational psychoth>>This had so much meaning for me. My mother was mentally ill for a long time, before she had children, and this is what she was missattuned. This information was like a light bulb going off. I dissociated for so long and still do. I think I use it like an overcoat. I do finally get why it is bad. When my T first told it was part I didn't agree. I think I get the reasons or costs as she puts it. The things she wants me to do well that is hard right now. I have ordered this book and the one real me recommended. I hope they help me. The voices are really creating havoc right now. I feel like I am on a roller coaster ride but can't get off. And my T and I are well little rocky right now. I think not all parts like her. Anyway, thanks for this information. It has set me off thinking in a different line that has yielded positive results. rk
