It's not for the faint of heart. Most people are hospitalized during the integration, and many commit suicide because of the pain. That's why it's so important to not only make sure you're ready, but make sure you have an entire network of help surrounding you. And be ready for family to turn their back on you. Most childhood trauma is familial, and when you come to the big realization of the source of your trauma, others in your family will NOT want to deal with it because they're not ready. They'll call you delusional, they'll turn their backs on you and even become aggressive...because they need to protect themselves from having to look at this. Dealing with repressed memories is NOT something to be approached lightly. [/quote] I was lucky. I found out they weren't my family the day I started to dig. Haven't spoken to them since. There's really nothing to lose if they never acted like family to begin with. I can only imagine how difficult it must be perceive a blood bond to abusers. [/quote] Thats the situation i'm in and my mother can't deal with it so i've left it because shes old and has been through enough. Her reasoning was, "it happened to him aswell" like that makes it better. I don't think he mind could take what happened so i'm not going there. Well that was when I was tortured, i mentioned it in an earlier post. The 10 seconds in my first post is a diffent situation and in nearly positive its a different person. [/quote] My mother used to say the exact same thing! She would also add 'well you got the most attention out of all the kids'. Meaning that in spite of the abuse, I should be the best adjusted. She didn't realize that that's exactly what I got...the most attention. So I was raped and tortured more than the other kids. That statement should show you that there is no way your mother is ready willing or able to look at this, or take any responsibility or help with your healing. It's probably tied to her own abuse as a child. THAT IS NO EXCUSE, just an explanation. Make sure to keep yourself safe and surrounded by people who will not hurt you and discount your pain. [/quote]
Original Message
Does anyone have any tips on how to bring up repressed memories. I don't want to see a hypnotist, 1)expensive 2)not guaranteed to work. I can remember 10 seconds or so of a situation that happened when I was 3/4, but nothing before and nothing after.
