It’s pretty easy to connect the dots for me now.. you need EMDR or trance work, that connection needs cut.. maybe just finding a pager in a thift store and physically destroy it might make a big change.

Trauma therapy is needed
I am sorry about your trauma. That's awful.

It never occurred to me that I could still be carrying around this, whatever it is, around in my brain from way back in, like, 1996. We were trained to do our jobs and never say a word. No whining. If you couldn't do it, you were a wimp. Thank you very much for that insight, Chrsitina--I am very grateful to you.

I don't know anything about EMDR or trance stuff. Have heard of the former, obviously, but that's about it. That and finding a pager I can stomp...
