I do like reading. It’s interesting. I guess I label myself manic when my thoughts are flying and I don’t feel stuff. I worry about you exposing yourself too much and watering down the experience of emotional recovery…but that may be me projecting. In my own work on myself, I’ve learned that all the yapping was often an avoidance from feeling. I do know one thing that is true, howevs: you simply can’t think your way to emotional stability. You have to feel it. I hope the thinking and the writing and the sharing and the sub-personalities are a bunch of rivers that will eventually fill up a lake of pure feeling. But if not, it will still be interesting. So many feelings come from the gut, and as they say “even lower,” meaning the genitalia. Sexual abuse can shut that all down. Of course. Good luck, Sarah. It’s so tricky. As a very cerebral person, myself, I do feel like things did not get good and clear and deep for me until my brain wall was smashed through. But hell, I’m only one person.
