I know when I do read what Others write, I just don't feel the connection so I just disregard it. They can care less. But, if they cared....that opens a platform where we can start unification and recovery.
By journaling, you can record your feelings, insight, situations, and then hopefully single out the trigger that causes you to dissociate. For me it's easy, Everything causes me to dissociate which I've concluded to be more a brain abnormality over the many years of abuse I've wasn't able to deal with.
I can see my triggers now, but they just don't go away, not like addiction triggers...these go deeper.
We as humans live in the now and tend to forget the past, so writing it down makes it more solid and something to be able to go back to, so yes, writing it down is the only way to catch you at the moment from your soul to share with the future. It's like a snapshot of your being at that time. It's a window to your yesterself.
It's the best thing that you can do to help you.

Thank you for your response. I do agree journaling is a very personal thing - but I have had other people find my journals and read them so even though it is personal - that can also be intruded upon but I am glad to see you would be very open to that if it did occur. I do hope you are able to find some way to repair those parts of your brain which needs repair from the abuse. The brain is one of the parts of the human body which can and will heal itself if given the right environment to do so - so never give up! *hug*
