Thank you!
My counselor has been so great to "walk through" this with me and go with where I'm being lead. Like you, I bought him the first book I was brave enough to read "The Stranger in the Mirror" and we, I think, kind of read it together. The second book "The Body Keeps the Score" was a suggestion from him. I devoured it and it has become the book of "what happened to me". I had experienced a somatic release before and I truly believe what the theories are.
This past experience with the picture sent me in search of more information and truth.
I know he is very busy and has many obligations. I don't feel like I could ask him to entertain another book for me. I'm going to take it with me tomorrow and share it with him. Maybe he will be intrigued and curious.
A part of me knows there is truth there and knowledge that would benefit me. It just may be where I am right now.
I'm not very good at grounding myself, before the happening. It happens so fluidly, I don't really know what has happened many times until after the fact. I really think that is the root of my fear in dealing with this. My feet get clipped out from under me and I don't realize what has happened until a bit or while later.
