Question:
Hello all, I have just passed the two year anniversary of my mother’s death and I have been having a terrible time. The date that she passed on was July 27, 1994. The ironic part was that the nightmares & dreams began in late June and I was not aware of what was happening or why. The realization came to me this past Wednesday at a recovery group that I am a member. I was talking of all the positive things in my life in the past two years and Wham!, I am crying and shaking and falling apart at the seams. My mother had slipped my mind until this time, (this past month.) I am a survivor of all four kinds of abuse; i.e., physical, emotional, sexual and spirtual. I have been diagnosed with PTSD of Childhood trauma. I have been doing reasonably well until this realization, but now my days are filled with terror of abandonment and my nights are filled with nightmares of abuse etc. Any thoughts? I do not mind corresponding via this newsgroup or personally. — David Ross http://www.star.net/People/~daveross

// Hi David: Traditional Chinese Accupuncture is very helpful in about 90% of the cases, and Rosenberg and Rand Integrative Body Psychotherapy is a very powerful and quick modality to untie the emotional knots that are working on untieing in you right now. May I suggest that you write your dreams down in a dream journal, even if they wake you up at 3 in the morning – write them down then. You are getting very important messages from your spiritual side (if the the dreams are in the light realms) or your soul side (dreams in the dark side). When the crying and shaking is going on, breath though the nose into the belly, slowly and deliberately like blowing up a balloon in your belly. The bottom of the belly (balloon) fills up first, with the top of the belly near your heart fills up last. Then exhale in relaxation, don’t force it out, just sigh is out as it wants to go. There are visual imagery exercise that can help, but I have to know more of the inner process to make a suggestion in this regard. Hope this helps. Your doing a real good job, keep up the good work.

– I am a survivor of all four kinds of abuse; i.e., physical, emotional, -sexual and spirtual. What’s the difference between emotional and spiritual abuse? And does verbal abuse fall into the "emotional" category? — Peace… Val
