After much work on myself I have learned to " clear the slate every day" That's not to say the hurts of the day before don't still sting. But I can let them go quicker than I used to.

[gerrerd in reply to Dolphin14]

I've found that I don't need a personal history anymore, ❤️

[Dolphin14 in reply to gerrerd]

I'm not sure what that means?

[gerrerd in reply to Dolphin14]

Well you can get to a stage in your life, when you realise you don't need it, a blank page if you like .

[Dolphin14 in reply to gerrerd]

Ahhh.... ok. Good for you. Someday maybe I will get there. I can only accept how far I've come at this point. Which is a long way

❤️🐬

[gerrerd in reply to Dolphin14]

Very good. I'm at the stage now we're things are happening that I never new were possible ❤️

[Dolphin14 in reply to gerrerd]

We can get there for sure I never thought I would be where I am 6 years ago, may even be 7 I'm not counting anymore.

I'm a different person inside. I love the peace I have.

Awesome job Ray. It's inspiring to people just beginning

❤️🐬

I hear ya my friend...but from my experience, and that of many others in various group and recovery workshops I've been in for over 40 years, and every shrink I've worked with has said the same thing. Severe PTSD, child sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and abandonment mental injury are deeply rooted in the most primitive area of the brain, the limbic region. And until the day science has figured out how to re-program that permanent damage done from this kind of severe abuse, not everyone can have a 'clean slate'.

Living life wearing rose colored glasses refers to trying to live either in denial or bury their severe mental injury somewhere like the proverbial skeletons in the closet, which will eventually surface. But I also absolutely believe we have to learn to live our lives the best we can manage every day with our issues, but most of us need help and support and recognition, and not having our issues dismissed. We also have to acknowledge our issues and not ignore them, find tools to manage our issues...they will be a part of our lives, we just learn to take the power out of them a bit more overtime... Sadly, it's very much like losing a child, it's our childhood that is lost, our innocence or trust that is lost...that pain never completely goes away.

[Dolphin14 in reply to fauxartist]

Agree... the pain never goes away. What I mean by a clean slate is if I felt anxiety about something yesterday. I'm going to try and wipe it off and start a fresh day. The old hurts are there. They cause the disruption. My hope is in the years to come with all the work I'm doing, is that I can function a bit better with the old messages. I am learning to bounce back a bit quicker which is good. I'm very emotional, sensitive and fearful sometime. Other days I can brush stuff off a bit more,

You are right. I've read about the part of the brain affected by trauma. I've also read it is a permanent damage.

We lost so much and we were so wounded 😢. The scars are deep. Some scars may fade a bit but they are always there. We know this based on surgery and what is left behind on the skin.

Some of these messages have to be dissected and we need to see if they fit into our profile. This is not a one size fits all life.

I totally agree with you, we have to let go of the small stuff...and lots of our everyday BS can be let go for sure, excess baggage. I get exactly what your saying. That over thinking everything and ruminating is a killer for me. One thing that kind of helped me a lot was when I was told by a very wise person to pick my battles, and that I didn't have to wear a suit of armor every day. I asked what that meant as it made sense kind of...and then I realized that it's just like Sisyphus pushing that rock up the hill...eventually your going to get squished. I have always had a soft heart, thin skinned, wearing your heart on your sleeve, being sensitive, what ever you want to call it... but it's also given me the empathy and compassion and ability to feel and see things some don't. I also believe those are the traits of creative minds, and where would we be without them.

[Dolphin14 in reply to fauxartist]

You are so right about pushing that rock up the hill. So hard and so stressful.

Yes we are empathetic and have lots of compassion for others. We know pain, want to help others if we can.

The creative mind. You are so talented and there are many talented people within this community. I hope today you have a chance to work your magic

❤️🐬

[fauxartist in reply to Dolphin14]

Back at you my friend... I'm grateful to call you friend, you have always been there for me during my hard times, and I have always appreciated it.

[gerrerd in reply to Dolphin14]

It is possible keep going on your journey just because someone else is unable to get to a stage where it's possible. Does not mean you can't. ❤️

[Isinatra in reply to gerrerd]

I wish life was that simple, gerrerd.

[gerrerd in reply to Isinatra]

It's our thinking that makes it complicated x

[Dolphin14 in reply to gerrerd]

Faux is correct about the effects on the brain. All we can do is the best we can. I've certainly made progress. But old messages may never go away. I just have to learn to live with things the best I can

[gerrerd in reply to Dolphin14]

Do you realize that we can change our DNA with our mind body connection. If we think it's possible it is ! If we think we can't we can't. You can. Xx

[Dolphin14 in reply to gerrerd]

I have to stick with what I am learning in my therapy. I do two different forms. Right now I have to learn about me. The little girl that's locked inside with fear.

I did discuss the brains control over the memories with one of my therapists yesterday. I am healing from within.

I've started to read on the DNA effect that you mentioned.

Thank you for the encouragement. I know I can heal many of my responses to my trauma amd I have

❤️🐬

[fauxartist in reply to gerrerd]

If that was true gerrerd, that would be a great accomplishment for humanity, and you nor anyone else would need to be on this site, we'd be cured. Let me know when you get that worked out, you certainly would have discovered probably the most important human ability if you could make it work for everyone. You would be able to cure every genetic abnormality. I wish you the best in your endeavour.

The latest up todate, cutting edge technology and thinking. Check it out. Not what was believed 2 or 3 decades ago ! Bruce Lipton's work on this check his work out and get up to date. I have done some of these things myself. Eg l had a growth on my neck it had been there several years, using my thoughts and mind l removed it, it is no longer there !
