Return to Pooh Corner
Kenny Loggins

Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood

So help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by One
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
And from here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered
"Boy welcome home"

Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To the House at Pooh Corner by One
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh

Thank you Place and White Iris...

I had dental surgery yesterday, wisdom tooth and molars removed so I have gofer cheeks...but while I was proud of myself for going thru with it, and just under local too, due to PTSD issues, I wont allow Gas, or General..but I have been depressed and teary eyed since the surgery and dont know why..just want to crawl into a corner with a blanket and a bear...maybe why the Pooh song really makes me smile thru the tears..feeling so hurt..not in physical pain..but emotional..dosen't make sense..darn it...

Eva,

This might be something to bring up with your T. When I was going through my sessions, things would trigger me that I would never have associated with anything that had happened. In fact, it could be something completely unreated that would set me back 5 sessions as I would say to my T. I asked him why this was and this is what he shared with me. Now this is just stuff that was in my case and I found it to be true for me. And I know every single person is different with what is right in their own situation. But if any of this helps you out, well that makes it all worth the extra work I had to do to learn this stuff.

What I learned:

1) The trigger might not be the setting or the person, it can just be the actual stress of the event. Even if the event had nothing to do with any past trauma. Stress is stress and the mind and body process it sometimes the same way as if it were a situational trigger.

2) Good stress and bad stress look the same on a chemical level. I learned this when I talked with my T about how I could go do something fun and then come home and cry for hours for "no reason" at all. That would make me so mad at myself and I could not grasp why I would do that. T said the chemicals in the body that are released when we are in very excited situations are the same chemicals that are released when we have "negative" stress.

3) Personal expectations factored into this. I found out that (again in my case) I was subcounsiously setting myself up for a bad "day after" for some things. T told me that because I would have the episodes of being very happy with an event, and then I would be triggered by stress and crash that I had built a pattern for myself. So then I started to dread even the best of events out of fear that I would crash afterwards. So even if I was not actually triggered in some way - like if there really wasn't that much stress with the event and it was calmer than I expected, well I was prepared to crash so my mind would later on do what I had expected it to do.

Again, not saying any of this is what happened with you, but if my experiences and learning help in any way so you can be happy or stronger if you want to be, than it is good.

Hi Wendi,

Thank you for sharing your life lessons, although they don't apply to this particular situation, I know you mean well in sharing them, and I take other lessons away from your expressing them, and appreciate your willingness to offer your experiences in a supportive and caring manner..

I did find comfort in your ability to change the pattern you identified, that is what I work in Therapy to do also, to be cognitive of the pattern has been the challenge, then it becomes workable in the sessions once I am made aware of the issue...again Wendi Thank you for your thoughts, and support..and I am feeling better this evening..take care

I'm so sorry you are struggling right now. Physical things so affect emotional things that while I don't know why it happens, I notice it happens a lot. Our bodies are made in such an amazing way. Even when we don't connect with ourselves, the body seems to be able to anyway.

I hope you feel better soon. Pooh is my mostest favoritest character in the whole wide world. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Thank you...the tears have stopped, I do believe it was just a stress reaction..my T reminded me that some of the Trauma issues revolve around Dental procedures both from Childhood and as an Adult, so to go easy on hammering myself about the emotional release afterwards..I just could not understand why if I wasn’t in any serious physical pain, other than a little soreness and swelling..the utter withdrawal that was occuring...but I am glad it's over with..just in recovery mode..

Thank you again Wantto...
