Hi Fuzzy,

Interesting thread, and I'm not sure I'll have a lot to add yet. I'm just starting to delve into my history of trauma. Apparently there's a lot of it, but nothing that my conscious person recognizes as trauma. I was chatting this morning in a thread about a few trauma. One was that my mother seemed to radiate a false positivity. Another for me was that she placed me into therapy at a very young age. She was an abused child and pushed a lot of her experiences onto me. She refused therapy and didn't want 'those people' in her head. I can't count the number of times I was forced into, and rebelled out of therapy in my youth and adolescence.

Apparently, a child in its 1st to 4th year is developing so rapidly that they are imprinting almost every aspect of every phrase they hear. Tone, inflection, facial softness, so much. My new therapist almost has me convinced that I'm suffering some trauma from my adolescence that wasn't planned or malcicious, but perhaps was blundered into. I'm learning about it weekly, and learning slowly and developing opinions now. Such strange complicated machines we are.

I'm going to enjoy hearing other's perspectives here. Good, vulnerable and safe post, Fuzzy. Thanks for starting it among friends.
