OK so I knew I was forgetting somethig big AND obvious, but I couldn't bring it up off the tip of my tongue. Depth Degree Direction Duration Frequency and ? VOLUME. of course, it came to me after my other post was uneditable....

Volume. How much, how loud, etc.?

The naked skyscraper is an image that came to me during body therapy. I was seeking an analogy for the way inputs impact me. To describe how thoroughly something can blow through in me, even if it seems like a little thing to others.

Boing, there came the image ofa naked skyscraper, just the metal structure, like a heavy duty erector set project, standing there like a stick figure, all exposed and alone.

If it is struck, the impact reverberates through the whole structure right to its core. BOOOOIIIIING.

Abuse scrapes a person to the bone.
Depending on the 4Ds, F and V, one can analyse the boing(s) and get help and slap some walls and insulation on the old bones, so's to speak.....

Such a vivid immagination, Bunny! And the graphics so easy to understand!

Wow, what an original way to get the thoughts across. Maybe you would like to read up on sensory integration and how abuse affects this. It is am amazing study. Temple Grandin is a woman with autism with sensory integration issues so she doesn't speak of abuse but so much of her words fit. How can we allow our senses to properly filter when it might be strong enough to kill us? I have a deep interest in this subject. DO you have bunnies?

Temple and me are Asperger's sisters. My dx list is rediculous.
Her first book, she was the first to share and validate my feeling feral. I've always done well with animals and children who are not yet tame....... ie: young'uns. I don't think I could design slaughter pens, but, I totally can dig her seeing from the cow's perspective and stuff. A calm death beats a scarey one. Oy.
wisewoman, ahhh, the brain, the body, the emotions, the senses, the thoughts the dreams: sooooo much to study, sooo little time. I'm glad I don't have to commute.(hahaha)

I didn't integrate to feeling from my senses without the brain edit till I was well enough to go there.... I didn't decide, my broken self just slowly healed into what is the current semblance of a wholemyself.

Yes, I have bunnies. 9, (ready to drop to 8 due to cancer). Inside with me is an elder female Lilac named "Ester- Queen of the House" and a 3 year old Havana named Geronimo. Out on the porch with a tunnel to their playyard, is Johnne (turned out to be a girl, not a neutered male as I was told), the twins Hopi and Figgy who are also 3, and Jackson who is 3. Then there is Zorro, son of Geronimo and Figgy, Lucky, son of Jackson and Figgy and Tripoli, daughter of Jackson and Figgy.
I love my bunnies. They are the first mammals I have been able to live with comfortably.

The sensory sensitivity roots for me inclusde being a premie, post traumatic stress and the Aspergers. Who really know which what is who anyway?

I started sensory integration work 18 years ago with a very special Dr. who was two years into developing methodology. You're talking to one happy guinea pig.
