I want to share what I discovered this unique process can provide should you seek to pursue it. A true story: in the 1970's they discovered Japanese soldiers hidden on a remote island in the South Pacific. They were unaware the war was over 30 years before! This I s what the mind does, fighting a war already over and you are the battlefield.

I have learned to unravel the attempts one uses to hide unwanted memories and emotions, to bury them from awareness. If unsuccessful the struggle continues, often festering in the dark. If you buy a new shirt and don't like it you never have to wear it again. What do you do with a feeling or thought you don't want anymore? You attempt to bury it somewhere inside, and the battle continues. Self-understanding may be of help I finding relief from this torment.

I am aware how 'nice-sounding' such comments can be. Likely, for you a sense of urgency caused your seeking help. What you want, more than anything, understandably, is to feel better. Many hoping there is a magic pill that can make the disturbing thoughts or feelings disappear, a wish that usually continues to disappoint, as it has in the past. Therapy can offer a better solution but one cannot peel an onion from the center. The journey can be daunting but satisfying.
