Thanks for links Dinah, I not got alotta time these days so I missed them.
I am currently in a debate w/my T about how supersentive kids can learn to dissociate more readily than those who are not. They then use dissociation more readily and ongoingly as well, due to the fact that their sensitivity makes even seemingly non traumatic stuff, be responded to as if it WERE trauma, jsut because they are so sensitive.
LOL, we are in the midst of this battle at the moment!
Its is always been said, that trauma is subjective. So what traumatizes one, another may sail thru.
I'm not sure what I am trying to get at, other than the fact that maybe you don't seem to give Dinah enuf credit that she was in fact traumatized, whatever the form the trauma took, we may never actually know. But due to the signs....she was. Its just a fact. There are REASONS for her behavioral responses, the didn't come out of thin air. I am talking to myself as much as you as this is what my T has been telling me.
And of course....my response is 'I don't remember being a kid, MOST people DON'T'.
Ain't T fun?
Take good care Dinah,
I think your T likes you just as you are :-)
As far as the "I" wird, I have decided that it doesn't mean making other parts go away or be buried. For me it is about having the parts all work better together, To know of each other and to help each other and to develop trust in one another. It is NOT to destroy them or make them gone at all.
Gotta go pick squash.
