After those layers of goop are gone, you and your therapist can start getting to work on what's going on inside you from any past traumatic life events that you've yet to resolve ...
I rarely have nightmares or night terrors anymore, but when I do, all I have to do is examine what's going on in my life at the time ...

It's not gonna be easy, but trust me in the long run it'll be more than well worth it ...

(((TY)))) You just gave me such wonderful advice!!!!!!! I never thought of those things as triggers. I watched a horrible movie last night on child abduction and other awful stuff, duh. I sometimes think maybe if i watch that stuff maybe I can master my feelings somehow, never thought to 100% stay away from ALL of it...I am going to do that from now on.....Ive stopped communicating with my family and that has thrown me for a loop, as Ive never been away from them for so long, so Im working with my T on that...thanks for not thinking Im a a freak. I almost feel like...what will I do with myself if there is no chaos and madness in my life? if i remove it all? what will happen? I know it will be much better for me socially, less embarrassing and less upsetting to me about scaring my friend and boyfriend at nightwith these strange goings on..... anyway..Thank you. -Chains
