Well.... How do I say... Sometimes defenses can be our friend. What you have to say is indeed food for thought for me as well as right now I am working through all kind of defenses and barriers. Well.... at least dang well working on it.

I think that there are healthy defenses and not so healthy defenses. I think that when my adult or child is wounded my child really hits the dumper pretty deeply and quickly. So if I can keep me from going so low I can do more of the work I need to do. This new med is lamictal that is supposed to level me out...

Make sense?

I also feel that meds can put up too many defenses but that is the skill of the pdoc primarily and the patient to find the right mix. I do not want too many defenses up as I too indeed feel that would interfere with my work.

Yup Sister... you are on target...

I am googling dissociation... is that obfuscation... confusion or just not connecting?
