Couch 113 - Sofa, So Good

Sinus infections are very unpleasant. I hope you'll get relief from it soon, sd.

Do you believe in general types? With students or clients, I find they fall into categories -not perfectly, but usually close enough.

There is a scene in a book (Swallowdale, Arthur Ransome), where a young girl has done something mildly naughty (from her perspective extremely naughty, from the perspective of an adult hysterically funny and not naughty at all) and tells her mother about it - and feels better afterwards!

Is that the scene where she makes a wax voodoo doll of the Great Aunt and accidentally drops it in the fire?

Oh, crocus!!! This makes me so sad to read. Do you see the disparity in those two sentences? There is no such thing as a perfect childhood when you call yourself horrid. Children act out due to abuse/trauma that happens to them. Children aren't "bad," it is parenting that is "bad." As i said above, I am a preschool teacher. In my 5 years teaching toddlers, I have yet to see a child that DOESN'T want to please us (me and the other teacher). They strive to be "good" and follow the rules, and get the attention of adults. That is normal development. You are NOT horrid, I don't care what you tell me about it, I refuse to believe it.

Yuk someone's yum! Epic. I may steal this comment, except steal is such a harsh word. Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

The downstairs neighbour said this morning he liked my hair. I cut it myself, it looks atrocious, but I hadn't put it up this morning. He said its wild and woolly!! What do I make of that?

I am from a not very huggy (except for my sibling and I have thought perhaps he was switched at birth) southern family. But in general - we are not huggers on either side.

Aha! Your sibling is your brother.

Why is that important? I'm not criticising, only intrigued. (I mean, I know you said the word choice bothered you, but it makes me curious as to why.)

I took it from someone - ATAT I think is who first posted it.

Ya know. I'm from the South and that is just what we do!! We will fry you something, which I don't eat but did for my husband because he was being whiney, and then we hug you. That is just who we are. We do it with much love!!

We also never drank sweet tea - so perhaps we were just abi-normal all the way around.

We're kidding around. Nothing to do with social skills. (I'm not sure how many of us actually have those. Certainly not me. )

******trigger for csa talk*****



T and I talked a little bit about my trauma on Friday. He asked me a question about the trauma that I didn't have a answer for. But, just now.. As I was laying here trying to go back to sleep I remembered a detail from the whole experience that i have never talked t about. Now, I can't stop thinking about it. Or seeing it in my mind. It's a detail that probably produces a good amount of shame.
This is just what I want on my mind at 4am on a Sunday morning. ☹️
