Re: New thread

That was well said, Janice. I know what you mean. I do'nt think I'm the type to not ackknowledge anything that has happened to me, though I suppose if I can't remember it then I don't know I'm hiding it. I do agree that telling yourself they didn't happen or they don't matter is not going to make it like it never happened, though.

Janice, this is exactly why I've refused to go to therapists since I
was a young child. I don't want to remember some things I've spent a
lifetime pushing out of my mind. I didn't need a stranger telling me
why I had migraines since the age of two or why I had another health
problem until just recently.



Not trying to change your mind, just trying to explain the process.
Here is the problem with your way of thinking. You just THINK that you
have suppressed these memories. (This isn't me being brillant here,
this is a well known established fact). You think that you are pushing
them out of your mind and you (again the UGU) spend so much energy
keeping them pushed down, that the energy manifests itself in other
ways.


I'm happy it works for you and some others here, but not everyone wants
to pick at old scabs. Just my opinion, though.


I agree, it isn't always pleasant and sometimes it is very painful. But
for me, dealing with the pain at age 54 is a lot different than dealing
with it at age 3. The reality of the memory in the light of day is
never as bad as it is in the darkness of the mind. I am a scab picker,
but only to make the sore better, not because I like picking scabs.

But again, I only way this because I know what good therapy can do for
people. I have never had anyone tell me that I have migraines or high
pain tolerance or obesity because of things I don't want to remember
from age 3. I want to look at those memories whether the headaches,
obesity and pain go away.

It is something that everyone can talk about, but until you experience
it for yourself, you can't understand. It is something that I would
wish for everyone because that lightness of heart is an unbelievable
feeling. I am beginning to sound preachy here and if I get too
preachy, I hope that someone will tell me because spreading the word
isn't my way. Helping others rid themselves of pain is my mission.
