[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 609013, member: 1721"] [I] Ha! Recovering, this is fantastic. Here on the site, we hold strong for one another through terrible times...how extraordinary to think we might do the same for one another as we triumph and reclaim our lives, stronger and more whole than we have ever been! I hope you do share that process with us, Recovering. :O) You are giving us a goal, an understanding of what success looks like. Priceless! ******************** Okay, so I awakened this morning, and could tell the difference immediately. I am thinking the anxiety-provoking thoughts are decharged a little, each time we are able to sit with and acknowledge them as anxiety provoking thoughts without any real purpose...or value. Here is a secret I can only tell because this site is anonymous. My negative thoughts have to do with cowardice ~ with times I did not protect my siblings, with times I stood there and saw what I saw and heard what I heard and could do nothing to stop what was happening. That is the basic theme. Anything you would attribute to a coward, to someone who stands for nothing. Extrapolate to my own child being beat to death. (Which is what we thought was happening, this summer.) Step back, again. Cosmic purpose? To heal those psychic wounds I sustained as a child, I would need, truly, to revisit the trauma. Looks like I have. Not only was I experiencing the negatives...I could see their unhelpfulness, could feel the weakness, as they drained, or tried to drain, my strength. The thoughts are pointless, the bad things that created the pattern in the first place should never have happened, to anyone. So, in a way, I have been given, and have been able to see, accept, and receive...a gift. Cedar[/i] [/QUOTE]
