Thanks, SAWE. it was so important to me that T said that because all my other Ts and counsleors have tried to get me to forget the past, rewrite the past... one even wanted me to take that PTSD pill to erace the past. @_@ I was angry - I didn't want to undo something I didn't even understand -something PART of me; my history, the first 12 years of my life, the reasons for the creation of 7+ alters in my mind. And I thought that this T wanted that too - forgiveness, integration, move on... so to hear her say that (she, who also has a CSA background), was life-affirming. I could still keep my past - it just would no longer keep me. Yes, the future chapters will be different (thank all things holy!) but it will not be devoid of my early years and experiences.
=)
