ALWAYS remember Moxie, that when you experience these impulses for suicide that they ALWAYS pass, just like the flashbacks. I cannot stress enough that PATIENCE with self is very important Moxie. Even in the article I posted explaining emotional flashbacks, that is what is discussed as being very important as you need help processing and healing and it's ok if you don't know what to do, but you ARE learning that you CAN wait these experiences with flashbacks out, they DO go away. With time these flashbacks will grow weaker, remember that, it's important ok?
Yeah I am learning that and learning to recognize another issue that T says is a child part taking over. Just hard for me to believe. All those years of me thinking I am having a low blood sugar attacks and complaining to the doctors and getting blood work has been this child part taking over. When I stop what I am doing and talk to this part and take care of it like a caring parent that shaking, sweaty, passing out feeling goes away within a few minutes. I just refused to believe that in session today.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
