would like to put a vote in for a certain amount of "okay" compartmentalizing and repression. Squiggle has not merely supressed this, she has dealt with it with her church mentor, her H, and will (I think) continue to do so. What she has already done with this is not at all superficial, and (I think) she will keep going deeper. Sometimes these things come to the fore bit by bit ....it's okay to take things in pieces. Yes, it's more critical than masturbation. And I hope I'm not mentally masturbating on this thread by saying the folllowing: Please, give her a break. Things happen in their own time -- they unfold as they will. The subconscious has its own pace, its own wisdom, its own rhythm. I think it's sometimes wise to trust it! things take time.

And back to embarrassing things: I told my t that I grew hallucinogenic mushrooms and distributed them for free at a Grateful Dead concert to hundreds of people.
