Makes sense. It is denial programming. See if you can relate to what I share below.... @lilygrace @Mayflower The phrase "believe NOT to believe" is something I overheard an alter saying inside back in 2007. I had been struggling intensely every time I got memories. I'd begin to feel like I...

Wow, that's very interesting. @lilygrace mentioned it sounds familiar to her as well. Can you explain or put into words what that phrase makes you feel? What is it that triggers that to come up for you? I'll share in a bit how it was for me, but I want to wait for your answer.

Good ... thank you for sharing. :)

I don't believe I did. I know you've had a very intense struggle with denial. Tell me something.... what does "forgetting those things that are behind" mean to you in light of the healing process?

@Mayflower @truthquest @lilygrace Take a listen to this song. This song was written and sung by an SRA survivor with DID. I think it states very well what our healing journey looks like. This is how we put the past behind us. @Shattered Idk if you're able to listen, but I think it would be...

@farouk There is an overabundance of Christians using scripture out of context to condemn people who have been directed by God to face their past. Forget?? We did that ....we dissociated it and "forgot" what happened. But it was still there, locked away, hiding our brokenness, affecting every...

Praying for you ....rest well...the Lord has you.

Any idea how old you were in that memory?

Could be that the anniversary having just passed brought the dog to mind. How do you feel about asking the Lord to reveal to you what you need to know about the memory you just shared?

It took a lot of courage to share this, sister. Take good care tonight, as I know this is an intense recollection. Where do you think the blood came from?

Do you have a gut sense of what it means? I could say what I think it could mean, but I think somewhere inside yourself, there is a knowing of what it means.

I figured as much. The religious connotation, similar to "be content with such things as you have" ...so much like what I experienced within the cult (Christian front) church. It's great news that alters are sharing things with you. This is progress.

I don't think I have, but it's so typical of what the cult does...taking an everyday phrase and giving it a double bind meaning. If I come across anything, I'll let you know. But I'd like to say ...always take what you hear from inside. They're sharing their truth with you. It has bearing...

@Mayflower I just want to throw some facts out there. I know you have mentioned having alters, and I have conversed with a few myself. Are you aware that you don't just have alters without trauma? A scary movie or story isn't enough to create alters. Actual trauma beginning by age 6 or 7 is...

You're welcome. If it's coming from inside, it is most likely part of an alter's programming. You could ask her what that phrase means to her. I have heard things from my alters that sounded just like a normal phrase ....or things that seemed cryptic ...which I've never seen written in Fritz...

Sis, I want to validate you. Your perceptions are on target. Playing footsies under the table is inappropriate and being controlled to the point that they want to say where you can attend church and who you ride with is wrong and extremely concerning. I would like to encourage you to take one...

In an underwater traffic jam, an alligator will give the right of way to a manatee. :)

@Holy999 Love them the same as any other person. None of those things are an unpardonable sin. If they don't know the Lord and have a tattoo, or if someone with a tattoo comes to the Lord ....what do you expect? That they would go through some procedure to remove it? Or simply deal with that...

A British railway museum hired a 6 year old boy who applied for a job as their Director of Fun. :)

That's exactly why I made that post and shared my experience. But I don't want my words to sound like I'm saying your experience is wrong because it wasn't exactly like mine. We both know we have a lot in common. Every survivor shares a great deal in common with other survivors. But we also each...
