derealization - ''to soften the ''truth'' of what our ''reality'' really is''. Hmm. I don't want to write about my early childhood here (or the rest of it either).

I spoke about something about it once in a ''support'' group in real life and some A hole slammed me with total invalidation. There was NOTHING trivial about what happened and I had only said a couple of sentences. Yeah some freakin ''support'' group

Has anyone read Pete Walker's book? I dipped into it the other day and it mentioned how some survivors who have experienced mostly ''only'' neglect - or that is mostly what they recall...berate themselves...compare themselves to others (never a smart thing to do) as do some of the professionals.

Fight, flight, freeze, fawn. It's scary when a professional slips into the fight style. I didn't care to encounter his snake.
