First of all, I am very sorry your dad took his life and even more sorry you'd found him. (((((( Trace ))))))

I don't know how one would get over something like that, Trace.

(My dad took his own life and I was on the other end of the phone, but I did not see him at all. I was too far away. Thankfully. I was 12 y.o.)

Isn't the "old time projector" thing odd?
I was just trying to describe that phenomenon to my husband.

I feel you are being realistic. Let things fade with time. Work to neutralize as much as possible. Are you aware of Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.? He is quite an expert. There are a few other, as well.

I have a great therapist. He is honest about his limitations. He's honest about mine, too. Yet, he remains somewhat hopeful.

Thanks for your feedback.

To our healing,
