l that stuff where have to awnser question on people who hurt you, and what did you feel, and i can't stand it....it's like intellectizing something that can't be intellectized, it's a part of the heart....
inner child work, when it became known, was the butt of jokes(still is). i'd like to ask them, tell me how you were raised and let's compare notes.
the kid inside suffered tremendous neglect. there was no fun. you lived on mixed messages and horrifying situations alone. i spent most of my precious years scared to f*ck*ng death.
jesus-god never stopped by. but you must have faith. why? i'll have faith when i see you exist because as i look around this world and see children starving to death and a million other problems, this god does not impress me.
children of alcoholics teach themselves to duck and cover to survive. when they are 60 they realize that they have always ducked and covered because that's what they know.
the therapist asks you a lot of questions and you don't know. they start questioning the here and now. how does that make you feel? you don't know because you cut off feeling when you were ten. well you're older now, get over it(a good therapist would never say that.
you start going to acoa and it's a tremendous relief. the aa peeps across the hall burst out in laughter often. acoa people are not laughing even people in their 70s are still fighting ancient battles. give me bipolar I. i'd rather have it than to go through what i went through.
