But you describe it...PTSD is a fascinating subject. But you describe it perfectly. Dr. Janov would be proud of you ;-)<br />WWII was devastating , if for no other reason, than that it sent back many men badly broken and not much use for raising kids right. I know those about 6 years or more older who experienced that.<br /><br />No one controls PTSD and how it works. The body and brain know what they are doing, apart from our consciousness. Its knowing what they are up to that would be helpful. I offer this as part of Primal theory and Primal therapy of Dr. Janov. Not only do you carry the traumas of your past, but also of life in the womb at about 3 months on and birth. The 1st 3 years are the most sensitive and vulnerable and most important.<br /><br />But often, you will have a memory and pain from traumas experienced along the way that will touch off one of the stronger physical pains of those 1st 3 years and back to the womb. Those early pains need to wait till the out later pains are first relived and relieved ,allowed fully into consciousness for the 1st time. That is where help of someone trained in what is going on can assist in subduing the deeper pains of the early past so that the more recent ones can be processed.<br /><br />You mention resting and that is exactly how it is. We do need to charge before another memory can be addressed. You descriptions are so right one the mark. I marvel to read them. You are a brave soul. And I am getting addicted to this site. Thanks a lot. Just kidding. I am intrigued.<br /><br />I would like to see you also address some things you might have observed about then and now and what seems right and what seems wrong. I have been going over the last 80 years (since about 1930) and figuring out what went right and wrong since then. Cause this is a perilous time we are in by this point. How did we get here and can we get out. This is where boomers should be reflecting and trying to make some sense that can be handed down so that those after us can maybe avoid some mistakes and even improve things, if possible.apollohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040184843184207525noreply@blogger.com
