Psoriasis

Dr's are good for diagnosing such matters CD. If you only have two wee patches you could try hydocortisone acetate cream 1%~~~ over the counter. Safe to use. Google the Proz92 for more info. I think it can be used on eczema.Read More...

Maybe a little longer Blu, before seriously pushing it. Start with a glass of water for your ....insert emotion here..........!Read More...

Skill

G'day Crootie, Yes, very confusing. It does go against the grain when we are taught to not be ourselves. It can take years in therapy to undo those lessons our family taught us. In that respect therapy is an unlearning of a sorts. No my sibs were not supportive in any way. I am a firm believer that our emotions can effect our body, including the skin. Why deal with people we have nothing in common with? My whole family became estranged too. .Read More...

Hypnotherapy

muff
Hi All, My father was ahypnotherapist for 25 years. It is very useful for people with resistance, shame ect, it bypasses the conscious mind, which maybe blocking the progress and works directly with the subconscious. However, my father also said he would be reluctant to recommend hypnotherapy in UK because it is so unregulated and he has met so many hypnotherapists at meetings and training courses,who he feels have no idea what they are doing. I don't know how it is in other part of the...Read More...
I have become obsessed with different women in my life, usually a bit older and wiser who I thought could be mentors. But I always wanted more, I wanted to be special to them - like a bet friend or a daughter I guess. I always tried to keep these feelings in check so as to not freak any of them out but the wanting to be special to them is so powerful. I still feel it even though I don't speak to any of them anymore. The heartbreak of never getting what I wanted is very powerful too. I spoke...Read More...

Self love.

Ah no, I never kept a journal Hopeful. It seemed every time I tried to write nausea hit, or I could only write a few lines before brain said, "Thats enough, go and distract please." Brain has kept a pretty good record of the important stuff though.Read More...

Turtle, I dont remember not being loved as an infant. Once a sociopath always a sociopath so it doesnt take much to add it up and know how I was treated in infancy. It's what I do remember that confirms everything about my families behavior towards me. Yes, our past certainly does cause problems for us now. Some of us pay dearly by giving up our lives in one form or another.Read More...

R.I.P. Baby Girl

Mudd, how awful. There really are no words. Wanted to let you know I was feeling with you as I read this latest. I think it would be so good if your H could bring himself to read that Fatal Distraction article. I had actually read it before now. . . a friend sent it to me when my daughter was a few months old because we were talking about a similar incident we had heard of. I wondered how it could happen. The article completely tore me up. Definitely increased humility and compassion. It...Read More...
Hi AG, Thanks for commenting and relating. I'm glad I made some sense, lol, felt I was in a bit of a fog when I wrote my posts. Yeah, I can definitely see not wanting to relate with T socially and how that might have connected to the feeling of dread. I am wondering what further is behind that feeling. I'm sensing, for me, it's less about the experience of vulnerability and exposure that could result from a possible meeting with T and more coming from a kind of toxic shame that I am not...Read More...

The break will be an hour and a half session with T, and hopefully getting more agro out. .Read More...
