I can, in fact, see that this was so on many occassions where I had to get out of where I was and someone else stepped in to save me.
wow. I am learning more about myself even as I live life today in one piece. This is really cool!

Thank you so much for all that you have shared here!
It is so amazing and I'm so grateful to be able to share these things here, and be understood, encouraged and validated.
Self hypnosis, looking at it from this angle, may be considered dissociating on purpose. Dissociating intentionally, for a purpose.
I can see how it would be helpful to be able to work with memories from a safe distance/place. I'm going to share with my counselor what I experienced. I do believe that I should educate myself more for it to be a help and not a scary thing.
