I'm so glad you posted here Larry. I'd been worried that that incident would have been the last straw for you and caused you to leave. I'm so happy that you gained such valuable insight from what happened. You deserve good things.
> In discovering that I had an ego state disorder, arising from childhood experience, and falling under the more general rubric of post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic.....in discovery alone, I also discovered healing. Imagine that. The act of catharsis and the eureka itself were one and the same event.
May I ask how exactly you've found it healing? eg you've learnt to communicate with your parts, or you've learnt how to soothe your parts or meet their needs or other things entirely. If you'd rather not answer that's fine, I was just trying to understand better how you've taken steps to heal.
> I could not ever have said this before, but I can say it now.....It is possible that I may never again be triggered into dissociation. Before, I could not have said that. But, now I can. {Aside: That is not a challenge, 'kay?}Could you maybe explain a bit more what you mean here? I'm certainly not doubting you, please don't misunderstand me, I'm just having trouble understanding why you feel this way. I guess a part of me is kind of a bit upset that you've moved forward so much in such a relative short period of time and I'm just going nowhere. I'd really like to understand a lot better what's been happening with you while you were gone.
I'm really happy that you're feeling a lot better now and understand yourself better.
