You're welcome. And please don't get discouraged before I knew I was DID I was working with a therapist and it took two years with her and then a year with another therapist after she left the agency to recover one memory t hat I was having a nightmare and flashbacks about. DID isn't like normal memory recall where you go to a birthday party and suddenly remember a birthday party that you forgot. It takes alot of digging through little snips and pieces of nightmares and flashbacks that seem to not be connected. Looking at each detail of that snip to see what smells, tastes, sounds, sights (objects, people and so on ) and textures - touches and emotions. once one snip is figured out you go to the next seemingly unrelated snp and sometimes you find they are related sometimes you find they arent and sometimes working your way through each snip more snips work their way into your conscious level by way of nightmares and flashback that are even more graphic and so on and may or may not be connected. It acually takes years to go through therapy for DID. A typical client in DID therapy is usually in therapy for DID at a minimum of 10 years. SKR and I started our work on my DID back in 2001. We managed to cut through alot of time using the techniques and so on that you will find in my blog and here on the message boards. But even barrelling our way through 10 years worth of therapy in a 3 year time frame I am still in therapy and have gone through 2 and a half more years of therapy. there is still time loss happening, drawings, flashbacks, nightmares, and so on happening so I know that there is still lots more work to be done. In fact I went to my therapy session with LL this past wensday and she asked how the work was coming on my house project. I let her know that I took a break from looking at it but have used my relaxation visualization and have learned a couple new things about that nightmare.

for those who don't know my relaxation visualization that I am using is my entering my tunnel and floating walking past my la la land and entering a door where once inside I would be in that nightmare I would see one new thing that is contained in that nightmare.

Anyway while I was telling her what I remembered the static in my head got real loud and I felt floaty and far away. I slipped into la laland and the next thing I know I was home taking groceries out of my backpack and found my appointment card for my next appointment. Which was set up while I was unaware and the appointment is going to be a light and easy one of LL and I going to a local community center for recreational time of playing the piano. Which is going to be so funny because I am totally out of practice because I have not played a piano since the 1990's when I was pregnant with my son. LOL So this week I am trying to locate some free sheetmusic websites and visiting the local library trying to locate the sheet music to a couple songs that keeps replaying in my head If, The Entertainer, and You Light Up My Life. So I knoww that there is still one or three more memory pieces that I have no idea what those memories are about.

It takes a long time to recover repressed memories and sometimes there are months to years before a new one is remembered.

Hang in there.
