It can happen, slowly but surely, but only once you know what is actually going on, at least in my experience.GettingBetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051926931303055938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18842224.post-51506645459234737232009-07-15T02:04:36.250-07:002009-07-15T02:04:36.250-07:00I'm new.

I can't thank you enough for sharing your story. It explains so much and gives me names for so many things like intrusive thoughts, time wasting, trauma bonds, etc. Understanding about reliving every trauma and betrayal over and over in my head, nightmares, now understanding why I just can't make the thoughts go away or get over it, avoiding things and not knowing why, not feeling safe and not knowing why, feeling in agony and crying and curled up and rocking, not understanding why my former shrink and therapist didn't get it, I would ask my shrink how after seeing me for 5 mins he can diagnose me and prescribe medication. Hating the holidays and feeling guilty about it because my family doesn't get it (they like to pretend things are just perfect during Christmas, my Mom's reason is "because it's Christmas"), finding myself being exploited time and time again even though I say never again, etc. Finding Betrayal Bonds on your blog explains what I've been going through and trying to figure out for a thousand years seems like. Thank you, thank you, thank you.Lost and Tiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07883115279272028111noreply@blogger.com
