hey sundance girl.

thanks for the book suggestions. I have read Trauma and Recovery, great book, actually I discovered it years ago before i heard of ptsd or knew that it was wrong to get children involved in sexual activity. I really didn't understand any of that, it's amazing what does not occur to us.

definitely will check out The Body Remembers as well. As for anger... i guess it took me until just this year to really be angry about stuff that happened when i was four. That's twenty years during which I was nothing but tense, shy, closed off from my feelings. i think that this might be more of who i am, my real self, not the anger itself but the sense of injustice and wanting to be a fighter. i feel like I have always had that in me wanting to get out and express itself. Everyone is different though -- some people i've known in group therapy were naturally more forgiving, laid back, genuinely sweet and seeking peace above all else. i am touched by that quality in them.

gotta go eat dinner now. sky, i will write to you later, thanks for the affirmation.

best regards
cthonica
